Delta Slim
I am true-blue fan and passionate exponent of authentic blues, (classic) gospel/soul/r&b, and roots music.
I play a lot of bottleneck/slide guitar and fingerstyle focused on blues, piedmont, ragtime, spirituals/gospel, jug band, old-timey, and bluegrass.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play live in blues concerts, clubs/bars, and the occasional radio show. I like to busk too.
