DAVE SPECTER * LIVE AT SPACE *
Dave Specter and Delmark Records have been together for over three decades. Dave’s acclaimed double album “Six String Soul” celebrated this amazing journey. Now, on Dave’s 14th Delmark album “Dave Specter Live at Space,” he and his superlative band write a new and exciting chapter in this long and harmonious story. At home at Evanston’s premier venue, SPACE, Dave and his smokin’ tight band deliver a definitive live blues event, vibrantly captured in this recording. This is 21st century Chicago blues, anchored in tradition and open to the future.
