Live at SPACE on Delmark Records CD and LP\n\n\n\nHistoria del Blues: “When the Guitar Speaks: The Elegance of Dave Specter Live…For over thirty years, Dave Specter has been much more than a guitarist: he’s been a guide, alchemist, and storyteller of Chicago blues. His playing conveys more than just technique; it speaks of history, character, and an encyclopedic devotion to a genre that exudes freedom and soul. In “Live at Space,” released in 2025 by Delmark Records, Specter gives us a work that feels like a homecoming, with the intensity of a rainy night and the warmth of a conversation between friends.”\n\n\n\nChicago Blues Guide: “On his most recent Delmark release, his 13th for the label, Specter and his crack band (Brother John Kattke, Marty Binder and Rodrigo Mantovani)  offer a set of tunes recorded at SPACE in Evanston IL which demonstrate why Dave Specter is among the pantheon of  great modern blues musicians. Live At SPACE is a recording which captures Chicago’s finest blues musicians at one of Chicago’s best sounding venues”\n\n\n\nAmericana Highways: “There are 13 generous portions to this blue plate special Live At Space…it’s a showcase of sophisticated blues…The sound of the band & its live audience is pristine. “Alley Walk” smokes from the opening notes with its heavy, noirish style. Wet midnight sidewalks & low lamps, couples embracing in brick-walled alleys… Henry Mancini would’ve liked Dave Specter’s direction.”\n\n\n\nCheck out Dave’s powerful and timely new song and video: The Times They Are Deranging (The Buck Stops Where?)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtu.be/oC4vQeC42jA?si=seq5DX8eZ-HvluI7\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=oC4vQeC42jA%3Ffeature%3Doembed%26enablejsapi%3D1\n\n\n\n\nThanks to the fine cast at Blues Blast for the feature article and interview\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=TxAw5CsydTA%3Ffeature%3Doembed%26enablejsapi%3D1\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTIST\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nhttps://youtube.com/watch?v=coNzKVOaQSQ%3Frel%3D0https%3A\n\n\n\nDave Specter has earned an international reputation as one of the premier talents on the Chicago music scene.

You’re fearless!”\n\n\n\nDAVE SPECTER LINKS\n\n\n\n Dave Specter’s Website: www.davespecter.com Facebook @dave_specter\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOne of the few top-tier guitarists” – Downbeat\n\n\n\n“Dave Specter is a global ambassador of Chicago Blues” – Chicago Sun-Times\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGUITARIST, SINGER/SONGWRITER, BANDLEADER, RECORDING ARTIST, PRODUCER & PODCAST HOST\n\n\n\nDave Specter has earned an international reputation as one of the premier talents on the Chicago music scene.
