About Smashing Time

Alvin Burrell

Alvin is a much needed oasis of calm. His professional approach to band affairs has helped kick the band into shape. His love of jazz may at first seem at odds with the musical tastes with the rest of the band but this has resulted in a much more harmonic, groovy sound than most of the offerings of other bands!

He has played in a variety of bands, from jazz through to rock, including Skintrade (where he played upright bass, but was recently fired!) the Eddie Harvey Big Band, Tall, and Channel D.

He is currently working with other artists in production and various music and video collaborations projects, as well as pushing the musical envelope with his Chapman Stick and developing the official band website!
