"Slidin' Slim is neither american, black nor old but still he perfoms genuine deltablues with impressive authority".
Review from Uppsala Nya Tidning, Sweden
"An impressive interpreter of countryblues who has a sound -both vocally and on guitar- similar to New Orleans John Mooney".
Review in Bluesmagazine Jefferson by Scott Baretta, Editor of Living Blues Magazine
"Swedish blues doesn´t get any better than this..."

Why this name?
I´m slim and I play slideguitar. Slidin' Slim !!!
Do you play live?
I´ve been touring all over Sweden for the last 10 years. Most of the time it´s good but it when it´s bad it could be a living hell !
Since 1995 I´ve performed at over 20 swedish bluesfestivals and I always have a wonderful time meeting blueslovers and other musicians.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It certainly put some pressure on the major labels ! Of course it is great for unsigned and small acts to be able to get the music heard all over the world !
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
I might, if I was offered a good deal...
Band History:
Discovered the blues of Son House and Robert Johnson back in 1991. Bought a resonatorguitar and started to study the blues. Made my debut as "Slidin' Slim" in 1994. Played my first major Bluesfestival 6 month´s later. Since then I have played at every big Swedish bluesfestival several times and have also played hundreds of clubdates all over Sweden.
I´m also a songwriter and have published several songs with publishing company Sweden Songs.
