CARIS ARKIN.............. One man...One guitar.

About Me

Caris Arkin has an extensive list of credits. He also has been "hiding out" somewhat in the hills of Italy these past fifteen years. An artist with an exceptional voice and the uncanny ability to somehow seem like six people while doing his solo shows. He also fronts Tartufo Dogs, an incredibly gifted and experimental group that combines live grooves and loops with a classic rock vocabulary from the Forrest Gump era... "Caris" also has several solo cd projects.
