Slidin' Slim - Not your ordinary blues

About Me

I grew up listening to Jerry Lee, Chuck Berry and Fats Domino and that might have put the mean R&B in my blood when I was just a small kid. In the late 70..s and early 80..s I discovered Ramones, The Clash, Dead Kennedys and whole Swedish punk scene. I guess I always been something of a misfit so I just fell in love with the whole thing and started my first band as a 12 year old. During the late 80..s I lost it for a while but somewhere around 90/91 I discovered delta blues and Son House, Charlie Patton and Robert Johnson. That was it. Since 1994 I’ve been driving alone around this mean, cold country (Sweden) playing my blues at clubs, festivals and wherever people want me to play. My blues just getting rougher and I guess I’m nothing but an old punk trying to play them real deep blues.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/18/2006
Band Website: slidinslim.com
Band Members: Most people know me as a solo player and that will always be my main thing BUT I also work with nothing less than two great bands at the moment. THE SOUL BASTARDS is a bunch of sensational players. Nicklas Brännström-bass, Niels Nielsen-guitars/keyboards/noise, Krister Persson-drums and Gustav Pettersson-drums that I team up with for concerts with nothing but original songs. Together with the veterans in SICK’N BLUES (Lasse Roselius, Göran Hanning, Mats Andersson & Göran Persson) I get the chance to play deep blues and some wild swinging R&B(hell, I even blow some harp just for the fun of it). And you know I LOVE to shout the blues!
