Alvin Dahn

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alvin Dahn is an outsider musician who gained fame within the limited outsider music community after his work was featured frequently on the Incorrect Music Hour. One of his songs, "You're Driving Me Mad" has been described as sounding like "a metal song sung by Ned Flanders".[1]

His music has ranged in its style from rock to metal and to ballads accompanied by strings. He appeared on a British documentary about outsider music, revealing that he met the considerable cost of the string section used in his song Don't Throw Your Dreams Away himself.

The Incorrect Music Hour once played over 40 minutes of a Dahn studio session. Much of the 40 minutes consists of Dahn's half of a dialogue with his sound engineer as he discusses (often critically) his performances and requests dozens of retakes. It is clear from these studio sessions that Dahn's music is produced with a perfectionist's zeal in professional studios; his music is the result of painstaking work and great studio expense.
