Italo 'Tal' Naccarato, the roots/blues/americana composer, touring artist (and occasional street performer: guitar, banjo, harp, vocals) was raised in New York City, resides in the Hudson valley, and currently splits his time between Louisville, Nashville, New Orleans, the Florida Keys, the Hudson Valley, NYC and everywhere in between, touring in his RV motor home.

He plays acoustic guitar in the style of the Rev. Gary Davis, Blind Blake, Lightnin’ Hopkins, Big Bill Broonzy and Mississippi John Hurt.  He plays electric guitar in the style of Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed, Buddy Guy and BB King.  Tal performed recently at the MerleFest Festival in North Carolina as well as at the South Florida Folk Festival.  His latest project, Dreamflower Sessions, was released in October, 2015.

Tal’s solid songwriting skills, easily identifiable vocal style, quirky 'behind the beat' tempos, signature slide guitar technique and fresh, authentic and unique approach to the genre has cemented his slot in the Roots/Americana/Blues world as a superlative, highly original traditional player and composer with a deep love for American Roots music.

When not playing a festival , club or recording date, Tal can sometimes be spotted pursuing his passion: performing on the streets of NYC, Nashville, New Orleans, the Keys, Vancouver, Amsterdam, or Paris, 'following the weather', in the true Americana/Roots/Blues troubadour tradition.
