Slidin' Slim
"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 doesnt get any better than this..."

Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
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 months later. Since then I have played at every big Swedish bluesfestival several times and have also played hundreds of clubdates all over Sweden.
Im also a songwriter and have published several songs with publishing company Sweden Songs.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Ive been touring all over Sweden for the last 10 years. Most of the time its good but it when its bad it could be a living hell !
Since 1995 Ive performed at over 20 swedish bluesfestivals and I always have a wonderful time meeting blueslovers and other musicians.
