Pennsylvania native Adam Arcuragi dropped by 1303 16th Ave South to play some amazing songs for us. The NPR-approved songwriter may describe his music as “death gospel,” but his sound is full of life, even without his backing band the Lupine Chorale Society. Arcuragi has released two albums so far, most recently 2009’s I Am Become Joy. He has also brought his highly literate songs to sessions for Daytrotter and La Blogothèque.
Arcuragi plays “President’s Song.”
