Dave Arcari’s Deep Blue

Sundays 7-9pm

Scot Rock - website

Touring solo artist & songwriter Dave Arcari presents a weekly blues show on Rock.Scot focusing on more left-of-centre blues stuff – new tracks inspired by pre-war and acoustic blues styles and songs/artists that push the boundaries a little and breathe new life into the genre.

If time allows, he is hoping to feature specially recorded session tracks and interviews.

Arcari’s own sounds owe as much to trash country, punk and rockabilly as they do pre-war Delta blues and have been showcased via eight internationally-acclaimed solo album releases on labels including Buzz (UK), Dixiefrog (France) and Blue North (Finland).

His music has also featured in numerous BBC TV programmes as well as popular USA series The Deadliest Catch.

While continuing to build his audience in the USA with once or twice-annual tours since 2013 – including official showcases at SxSW in Austin, Texas Arcari maintains his presence on the UK and European touring and festival circuits with regular live shows throughout the year.

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.
