Slimpickins

Slimpickins new CD Lagniappe HERE IS A HOT LIVE VIDEO TRACK OF SLIMPICKINS IN THE WOODSThe makeup of Slimpickens is fiddler Annie Hiddle Fickie Ford (Barrell House Annie) from Virginia and Lake Charles Jake from Louisiana, and Slim Syncopator from New Orleans on his homemade gas tank bass and rack harmonica. They have performed at a wide range of venues and festivals busking along the way. Sticking to their southern roots, their style is a mixture of genres covering old-time, blues, rags, Cajun songs and fiddle tunes from the 30s on down. Their sound is of a swingy bluesy fiddle and a ragtime picking guitar complimented by a three string bass and tasteful harmonica harmonies. They stand apart from many in that there is an unassuming unique authenticity embedded in each note. Watching them perform feels like one is sitting in their living room. Inspired by all the past greats and hard times they seek to bring new life to these old tunes and preserve the idea of living a simpler life.
