Kepha Arcemont
Kepha Arcemont is a New Orleans-born guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter whose electrifying performances and blues-infused rock have established him as a dynamic force in the classic rock revival scene. His musical journey began at age 13, ignited by a concert featuring Dr. John and the Night Trippers, Paper Steamboat, and Vince Vance and the Valiants.
Immersed in his mother's record collection — Led Zeppelin, Free, Cream, The Allman Brothers Band, and Lynyrd Skynyrd — he developed a deep connection to rock and roll. He picked up guitar at 15, writing songs by 17, and has since amassed over 100 original compositions that showcase his emotive guitar work and heartfelt lyrics.
Drawing inspiration from Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Duane Allman, Paul Kossoff, Billy Gibbons, Rory Gallagher, Robin Trower, Leslie West, Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore, Tony Iommi, Johnny Winter, Pete Townshend, Peter Green, Eric Clapton, and David Gilmour — Kepha forges a sound that is unmistakably Southern and undeniably powerful.
After relocating back to the New Orleans area in August 2024, Kepha reorganized and launched The Kepha Arcemont Experiment — a bold new chapter featuring world-class session musicians and original compositions that reach from the bayous of Louisiana to the world. Two albums released in 2025 — Are You Experimental? and Rock's Not Dead — deliver 18 tracks of raw, roots-rock fury that honor the classic rock tradition while pushing it forward.
