Biography
Touring Scandinavia for 20 years has helped develop a following in Sweden.
At age 11 Arlo West's family moved to Auburn, Maine, where he was influenced by the many musicians living there. Guitarists such as Lenny Breau and Jeff Wright became friends with West and helped him develop his style of playing. In 1985 West met Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top and Gibbons suggested that West moved to Austin, Texas. After moving to there he was signed to Russell Whitaker's label Brighton Road Productions. This allowed him to record several of his albums such as 1987's Rattlesnake and 1994's Blues College. Whitaker's studio, the Dallas Sound Lab, has produced many recordings and this recording contract was instrumental in exposing West's music to the world. 2000–Present day: Arlo West started Creative Forensic Services a forensic audio and video recorded evidence laboratory in Lewiston, Maine.
