About Harvey Darlton Arnold

Harvey Dalton Arnold first gained the music world’s attention in a huge, arena-sized way: He was a member of The Outlaws, one of the giant wave of 1970s Southern rock bands that came in the wake of the Allman Brothers and wound up charting big hits and filling giant venues all over the nation.
Harvey’s rise to stadium gigs happened quickly. As a teenager, he was playing bass for a band in Florida when he got an offer to audition for The Outlaws on a Saturday night. By the following Saturday, he played his first stadium gig when The Outlaws opened for Johnny Winter and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
Today, he still plays slamming electric blues but also turns out some great acoustic work.
