Dave Arcari (UK)

DAVE ARCARI

Thursday, April 23, 8 p.m. at Philly Joe's Jazz Club

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. This sound has been showcased via eight internationally-acclaimed solo album releases on labels including Buzz (UK), Dixiefrog (France) and Blue North (Finland).

After a successful Kickstarter campaign, his latest album “Still Friends” was released on limited edition vinyl and CD in November 2025 landing a featured album slot on BBC Radio Scotland and a pick of the month tag from the Independent Blues Broadcasters’ Association. Arcari's music also 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.
