"Dave plays like he got his skin turned
inside out and pretty soon my skin was
inside out too listening and it was all good.
That boy bleeds for you – he a real down deep player and a soul man..." SEASICK STEVE
SLIDE guitarist & songwriter Dave Arcari's music owes as much to trash country, punk and rockabilly as it does pre-war Delta blues.
He has four solo releases on Buzz Records and reached the final four in the Indy Music Awards 2008 'best solo act' category.
A series of shows with the mighty Alabama3 (by personal request from the band), gigs with Seasick Steve, Son of Dave and Jon Spencer and a tour in Estonia (including headline slots at the Augustibluus Festival) have helped establish Arcari as a formidable international solo performer and built a media reputation as a 'hell-raising National guitar madman

"... a pertinent reminder that British people do downmarket
backwoods hoedowns as well as anyone. By some bizarre accident,
Dave Arcari¹s bluesy growl owes as much to Long John Silver
as it does to Big Bill Broonzy."
BANG Magazine
"There's no fleet-finger twiddlage here, just blasting bottleneck riddims and Arcari's scary Captain Beefheart vocal. It's the original blues message - drink, be merry, fall over. Hurrah!"
GUITAR Magazine
"Dave Arcari¹s gravel 'n' whiskey delivery falling midway between Tom Waits and Alabama 3's Larry Love, relayed over a backdrop that variously recalls Slim Harpo, Leadbelly and Vincent Gallo."
