Sweetpotato Slim
Inspired by the blues greats (Albert King, BB King, Freddie King, Albert Collins, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughan), I've been playing the blues for over 17 years. From screaming electric to laid back acoustic picking and dobro.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Developed my blues chops through high school and later in college at Florida State University under the tutelage of Sir Charles Atkins, who runs the Blues Lab at FSU. I've been listening and playing the blues for years and just play from feeling now.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play out frequently at local blues jams in Orlando.
