About Me

my name is kent slucher, born oct 19th 1976 in louisville ky.....at a young age of 2 i was bitten by the music bug, my mom and dad played in a band together for the first few years of my life until my mom and i relocated to florida until age 16. i decided then to relocate to lexington ky to live with my dad and finish out high school. right out of high school my dad offered me the drum chair for his band Uncle Lijah he had filled for 20 years by drummer Jimmy Cluge, thanks for finally retiring jimmy, and of course i jumped at the chance. in a nut shell we played all over gods green earth for about five years. my dad decided to retire and i went on to play with Brad Alford And Saddletramp at the Cadillac Ranch in Lexington,Ky where i got "discovered" so to speak and an artist named anthony smith gave me my first big break and offered me a job playing drums for him. we toured in support of his amazing debut album "if that ain't country" and i had the time of my life, i owe him alot for giving me a chance, thanks anthony, your amazing. Since then i have spent the last 4 years playing with country music legend Pam Tillis and it has been amazing, she is truly one of the best in the business and thats a fact. Thanks to Darin Favorite to turning me on to this gig, its been a great ride and i look forward to many more years. I also have been fortunate enough to record some great records and have played with some amazing musicians, thank you each and every one of you. so me and my wife of 7 years now call tennessee home and i don't think we would ever want to be anywhere else, it's a great place to be.
