The music of Sugarland Slim captures the sound of the 1930's Mississippi 'bluesman' era with traditional acoustic slide guitar, blues harmonica, walking bass and gritty vocals. Having only formed late in 1999 they are already carving their way through the UK Blues scene (not least of which - a recent support for Peter Green) with a unique sound and a stunning collective ability rarely seen on the circuit today.

"This is a four wheel drive band. Everyone is a master of their craft and we are all in awe of each other. That's what makes it so much fun to be on stage together."

The philosophy is clear. Take four young guys with a respect for the traditional sound of Delta Blues and drag it kicking and screaming into another century. Suglarland Slim comprises:

Jeff Adams Blues Harmonica...

Jeff Adams' harmonica work truly captures the spirit of the Mississippi Delta, conjuring up images of chugging trains and howling winds. Influenced by the great Sonny Terry, he has the rare ability to fill the background of a piece of music with great subtlety and then produce a howling solo when needed. Like any great player his style is unique and unmistakable, so sit back, relax and let the colourful and hypnotic Sounds of Jeff Adams' harmonica transport you to another place.

Tom Dale Vocals, acoustic, slide, lap, Dobro, 12 string & electric guitars, banjo, mandolin...

Tom Dale is unarguably one of only a handful of people in the country who can play traditional slide guitar to such a phenomenal standard. What makes this more infuriating for those of us who have to work hard at things in life is that he has never had a lesson and is only twenty four. Not that these factors are apparent during his live performance as his rapidly expanding army of admirers (most of them musicians) will be quick to tell you.

Sean Kingsley Lead vocals, rhythm guitar, keyboards, percussion & tap improvisation...

The shear power of Sean Kingsley's voice is awe inspiring. With a range of over three octaves he has been singing professionally since the age of Fifteen covering a variety of styles. "I suppose it all started with Graham Bonnet (Rainbow), I heard him sing 'Since You've Been Gone' and it just blew me away. I started singing along to his records, it was the vocal equivalent of sparring with Tyson."

Darren Power Bass Guitar...

There is nothing 'back seat' about the Bass work of Darren Power within Sugarland slim. It was decided at the outset that drums would interfere with the subtleties of most Delta music and that the band had more than enough of a groove once Darren starts playing. He is the rhythm section and the rock around which the rest of the band and the audience must move.
