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 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.
A finalist in the UK Blues Federation’s UK Blues Awards 2023, Arcari has had his music featured 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.
Trevor Babajack Steger
Trevor Babajack is an English musician, raised listening to his mother, a club singer and the only two records in his parents record collection, Johnny Cash and Rory Gallagher. So, in the late seventies his own musical adventures began by playing bass in a local punk band.
In 1981 a friend dragged him reluctantly along to see Nine Below Zero, the day after he bought himself a Sonny Boy Williamson record and a blues harp and he was hooked.
Living and working in the 90's with the Shona people in Mashonaland East, Zimbabwe, Trevor's first son, Jack was born. Shona custom is that the father takes his son's name, so Trevor was known as 'Babajack'. (The Father of Jack).​
His music is influenced by his acquired passion for early rural Blues, mixed with the sounds of rhythmic African roots, in what can only be described as his own genre of original and seemingly improvised music, that makes him a thrilling and unique artist. His travels have taken him the length of the UK and across Europe, headlining Blues and Roots festivals and from little French cafés to The Royal Albert Hall.
Trevor has always been a hard working musician, thrilling performer (and woodworker, making his own instruments) earning himself winner of the UK Blues Acoustic Act of the Year 2023, recognition as one Britain's best acoustic Blues artists, harp player, slide guitarist and song-writer.
