Italo ‘Tal’ Naccarato (guitar, banjo, keyboards, blues harp) is a composer, songwriter, teaching artist and instrumentalist born in the medieval-era mountaintop village of Fiumefreddo Bruzio in southern Italy, and raised in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. His stylized original work highlights a deep appreciation for traditional Folk and Americana Roots music, steeped heavily in Rock and Blues, and includes classical guitar inspired compositions performed with a ‘bluesy swing.’ When not playing a festival, club or recording date, Tal can sometimes be found performing on the streets of New York City, Nashville or New Orleans in the time-honored folk /roots/blues street singer tradition.

His last Album ’Ten and Two Blues’, was released April 27th, 2022. His next collection of work, ‘The Theory of Hurricanes’, will be released in April, 2024

Tal most recently won the 'Long Island Blues Society's' 2022 Solo/Duo Competition to compete in 'The Blues Foundation International Worldwide Blues Challenge'. on Beale Street in Memphis, Tennessee.

Tal was also recently featured as a solo acoustic performer at the famed 'MerleFest' Festival in North Carolina, and has taken his place amongst the very best players worldwide.

Tal’s solid songwriting skills, and fresh and authentic approach to the genre has cemented his slot in the folk, americana, rock and blues world as a highly stylized original traditional player and composer.

Admission is $15.
