Geva Alon (Hebrew: גבע אלון) is one of the most versatile and accomplished Israeli singer-songwriters of the last decade. He was born in a small Kibbutz (Then still a socialist commune-like community). He wrote his first song at the age of 14 and took the guitar seriously, practicing countless hours as a kid. As the founder & leader of “the flying baby” – probably the most powerful rock trio Israel has ever produced – he became known as an extraordinary & inventive guitar-player, capable of both hot-fierce fret-work solos and long slow moving jams into the unknown. But Alon is more then that – a gifted songwriter, he wrote all the lyrics & music to the band’s songs. As a singer he possessed a haunting & surprising vocal register - sometimes comparable to early Neil young.

With the band Alon had recorded 3 albums (their debut is still officially unreleased). Their second album, “inner world” (2001) was hailed as “The best non-Hebrew Israeli rock album since (“the Churchills” legendary psych LP from) 1968”. The Band toured extensively all over California for sixteen months & played mostly in & around the bay area. “Pain to give”- their 3rd album was released in 2004 on the “Blue Sun Music” Label to rave reviews. It contained dark memorable moments such as “Doorway To Simplicity” (with a great & gloomy Tom Verlaine’s “Feel”) alongside long excursions as “Bound To Go Crazy”.

In 2006 Geva Alon released his debut solo album “Days Of Hunger”.
