Born in Georgia and raised in Pennsylvania, Arcuragi is a guitar-slinging southern boy who can tell you a thing or two about a thing or two… especially when it’s in the form of a song.

Much like the (aforementioned) geographic collision, the music grabs parts and pieces from genres spanning americana, indie-rock, gospel, folk, and even old blues field recordings — to create songs that you just cant help but want to clap, stomp, or sing along to. “Arcuragi’s voice [is] somber but gentle, it has the mellifluous tone of an American Nick Drake…. He reaches for bliss again and again” (Paste Magazine).

As a published playwright, Adam’s songs spill over with compelling and poignant lyrics that garner continuous praise. Or as John Schacht of the All Music Guide states: “There is unbridled joy inherent in even the saddest of these songs, and unforgettable images in almost every verse.”

Adam’s new record I Am Become Joy, will be released in September if this year. His first full-length album (Untitled), came out in 2006 followed by the 2008 EP, Soldiers For Feet. In addition to completing I Am Become Joy, Adam’s past year has included a Blogotheque/Take-Away Show, a live performance in D.C. in honor of President Obama’s inauguration, and a feature on an Urban Outfitters/Filter Magazine compilation alongside rare tracks from Wilco, Bright Eyes, Death Cab for Cutie, and others. This summer, Adam will be touring, playing festivals, recording a Daytrotter session and writing all original music for an Independent film out in fall 2009.
