About Dave Specter
A top-tier blues and jazz guitarist, bandleader, composer, and member of Chicago's Blues Hall of Fame, Dave Specter brings intelligence and crisp playing in an approach that weds urban blues, gritty soul, and funky, jazzy R&B. Once a sideman with Son Seals and Hubert Sumlin, Specter has led his own bands since 1989. He began his recording career with 1991's Bluebird Blues for Delmark. In 1998 he released the widely celebrated Blues Spoken Here. 2000's Speculatin' was an all-instrumental set highlighting originals and covers. A decade later, another instrumental set, Spectified, appeared. 2019's Blues from the Inside Out was the first to feature the guitarist's lead vocals. His 2020 single and video for "Ballad of George Floyd" was used in 2021's Songs of Conscience, Sounds of Freedom exhibit at the Woody Guthrie Center. It was also included on Six String Soul, a retrospective of his three-decade tenure with Delmark.
