Twenty years. Over 100 songs. Stages across four continents. Arsen Roulette's journey through rockabilly was nothing short of legendary.

THE BEGINNING

In 1996, Arsen discovered rockabilly music. By 1997, he had formed "Arsen Roulette and the Ricochets"—a rockabilly trio whose rotating members read like a who's-who of neo-rockabilly giants. After several name changes and a successful U.S. tour, the trio evolved into a quartet of semi-permanent musicians, primarily European rockabilly players who performed full-time in the genre.

THE ROAD

Arsen made bi-annual pilgrimages and major European tours taking him 20,000 miles a year to Europe for nearly two decades, headlining the biggest rockabilly events on the planet: Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekend, Summer Jamboree in Italy, Hemsby Rock 'n' Roll Weekender in the UK, Screamin' Festival in Spain, Brighton Rumble, Sjock Festival in Belgium, and Waldorf Rockabilly Weekender in Germany.

He wasn't just a performer—he was a prolific songwriter, penning over 100 original rockabilly songs. His music gained national recognition in publications like Rockabilly Monthly and Blackcat Rockabilly.

THE MUSIC

Arsen's discography includes:
- Lost Recordings (2005) - featuring Rockin' Lloyd Tripp on lead guitar
- Let's Get On With It (2006)
- Dear You (2011) - recorded in Europe
- Hit, Git & Split EP (2013)
- In Mono Phonic EP
- Various live recordings and compilations

Boz Boorer of Morrissey praised his work: "With good raw guitar as if telephone wires were strung on it, self-penned tunes, urgent vocals as if his young life depended on it... if you like your billy loud and raw, buy this platter and play it to death."

THE EVOLUTION

But somewhere between the European tours and the festival stages, something deeper kept calling. Mediterranean blood meets San Joaquin Valley soil. The honky-tonks of home. The country music that raised him—Buck Owens, Faron Young, Merle Haggard.

Rockabilly gave Arsen the world. Country music brought him home.

In 2024, after 20 years as Arsen Roulette, the evolution was complete. The road led back to California's San Joaquin Valley, back to the golden era of country music, back to the truth that was always in his bones.

Arsen Roulette was a chapter. Arsen Giorgio is the book.
