American rock band Everclear, who had hits in the 90's with songs like "Santa Monica", "Everything to Everyone", and "Wonderful", is headlining the 2013 Summerland Tour and frontman Art Alexakis is playing Hayden Amps.
Alexakis is employing a Hayden Classic Lead 80W head and 412 cab to get his signature west-coast alternative guitar sound, which anchored the band's eight albums including Sparkle and Fade (1995) and So Much for the Afterglow (1997), and earned Everclear both a Grammy nomination and Billboard Music award in 1998.
With a history spanning two decades, Everclear's most recent album is 2012's Invisible Stars.
After the wide success of the inaugural edition in 2012, the Summerland Tour is back for a 2013 edition. The cross-country tour continues through the end of July, with a line-up including nineties classics Filter, Live, and Sponge in addition to Everclear.
Hayden is a UK manufacturer of hand-wired electric guitar amplifiers and a sister company of Ashdown Engineering. Designed by acclaimed British tube amp guru Dave Green, Hayden draws on classic tube amp designs of the past and adds the features desired by modern guitarists. An exciting and diverse roster of artists has been quick to make Hayden part of their stage and studio rigs.
