Dave Arcari

SLIDE guitarist & songwriter Dave Arcari's alt.blues sounds owe as much to trash country, punk and rockabilly as they do pre-war Delta blues and have been showcased via seven internationally-acclaimed solo album releases on labels including Buzz (UK), Dixiefrog (France) and Blue North (Finland). After a successful Kickstarter campaign his latest album Devil May Care was released on limited edition red vinyl in November 2023. A top three finalist in UK Blues Federation's UK Blues Awards 2023 Arcari's music features in numerous BBC TV programmes as well as popular USA series The Deadliest Catch. The ultimate validation for Arcari's music and performance came in 2019 when National Reso-Phonic Guitars launched the 'Dave Arcari signature model guitar. Arcari joins an elite and exclusive group of players who have signature models and is the first - and only - musician outside the USA to be honoured by the iconic instrument maker whose name is synonymous with the development of the blues genre. Arcari is also an official endorsee of G/th Capos, Reunion Blues Gig Bags, Newtone Strings and Diamond Bottlenecks. While continuing to build his audience in the USA with once or twice-annual tours since 2013 - including official showcases at SSW in Austin, Texas - Arcari maintains his presence on the UK and European touring and festival circuits. Arcari's festival appearances include Glastonbury (UK), Red Rooster (UK), BluesAlive (Czech Republic & Poland shows), Moulin Blues (Netherlands)
