The Music Club of Hollywood, the SFFAMC and the Friends of Stirling Library will be doing a series of Folk Concerts this year.
The 2nd musician in our series will be Darrell Arnold.
Darrell Arnold is a country blues and Americana performer. His own compositions are soulful folk-rock, with a twist of country blues. Darrell has recorded five studio albums of his own music and has just released a recording of Delta country blues songs (Arco Records). In the 1990s and early 2000s Darrell lived in Germany and played regularly in Germany and the Netherlands. There he played with two bands, the Dead Buffaloes and the Buffalo Fish. Highlights from that period include opening for two tours with the Yardbirds as well as festivals with Canned Heat, Eric Burdon and the New Animals, Alvin Lee, and Joe Cocker. Darrell produced four CDs while in Germany. For Everyday Stories (2002), Darrell Arnold and the Dead Buffaloes won a national prize for CD production of the Year with the German Pop and Rock Music Association. Since 2010 Darrell has lived in the Miami area. In 2017 he recorded, Changing World, produced by Jack Shawde. In 2024 he released “Portraits of the Blues” (also produced by Shawde), an album of country blues music that accompanies a book on early blues of the same name.
Today’s concert will not only be a performance, but an opportunity to learn about the Blues and its impact in American Culture.
