Dave Diprose

With 30 years honing his skills as a songwriter, slide guitarist, bluegrass flatpick guitarist and story-teller, Melbourne's Dave Diprose has etched his place into the Melbourne acoustic scene. His music is steeped in tradition and rich with Australian heritage.

He plays Delta Blues with the power, passion and pizzazz you’d expect to hear on the plantations and juke joints of old Mississippi. His voice is earthy and raw, cajoling the spirit of a Robert Johnson or Charley Patton, and his mastery of the metal-bodied slide guitar unparalleled.
