with names like Muddy Waters, Little Willie John, Sonny Boy Williamson,
Jimmy Reed, Chuck Berry, Percy Mayfield, Sound Garden, Tina Turner, Red
Hot Chili Peppers and Joe Cocker.
Eagle Park Slim has been a musical institution in Eugene since 1980, and regularly appears in other cities throughout the West, including Denver, Colorado and Seattle, Washington. Slim's unique sound has developed a loyal following wherever he performs. "Don't tell your friends about me," says Slim, "just bring them out with you and listen." This is the secret of Slim's success; people love to listen. Slim performs his own original music. Over thirty years of writing, traveling and performing, Slim has built a quiet but noteworthy reputation with his own unique musical identity. His music defies traditional categories, and never fails to please his listeners. Slim has found that he has a large audience - little babies, toddlers
and young people of all ages enjoy his music for all ooccassions. His
song reaches out to everybody, young and old. Every listener has an Eagle
Park Slim song they can call their own. |
