A Maple Blues Awards nominee, guitarist, songwriter and singer Arsen Shomakhov is an electric blues performer truly dedicated to the style’s roots yet never hesitating to borrow means of expression from other genres. He established himself as a blues-devoted virtuoso musician in his native Russia making it to the International Blues Challenge (IBC) in Memphis in 2005 and winning the new talent contest at the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Helena, AR in 2007. The Arsen Shomakhov Band went to Memphis to represent the White Rock Blues Society at the IBC twice in 2014 and 2016, both times advancing to the semi-finals.
Arsen’s most recent album, “Rain City Blues,” produced and recorded by Kid Andersen at the Greaseland Studios in San Jose, CA, was released on September 6, 2019. The album includes ten original tracks covering a stylistic range from rocking blues and funky boogaloo to R&B and 50s rock and roll with jump blues in between.
