Arborea's Purple Fender Stratocaster @ 51st Philadelphia Folk Festival

Arborea performed two sets of music at this year's 51st Philadelphia Folk Festival and as with most of our tours over the past 6 years, my Purple Fender Stratocaster is the most reliable instrument I perform with. She's made of parts...an early 90's American Strat body with a late 90's Strat Plus neck, Texas Special pickups, and a blocked off American Standard tremelo bridge. Photo by Frank Reis

Arborea at Daytrotter

Arborea records a Daytrotter Session at the Horseshack in Rock Island, Illinois with Engineer Mike Gentry. Sean Moeller and the rest of the crew at Daytrotter are the Best at what they do...archiving some of the most essential 'Live' sessions in the world. We've been big fans of Daytrotter since 2006, so it was a huge honor to work with these guys. Our session is forthcoming, but in the meantime become a member for only $2 a month and get some amazing sessions...Dave Rawlings, Meg Baird, Bon Iver, and Will Oldham to name a few.
