Slim & The Deuces

Slim & The Deuces was a traditional blues band (with quite a few originals) formed in early 2008 by Dave Harris (lead vocals, guitar, amplified harmonica and fiddle, John Hunter (drums, backing vocals) and Greg Kennedy (bass, backing vocals). John and Greg had a lot of earlier history in the blues and backed greats including Albert Collins, Pinetop Perkins, John Nicholas and James Cotton among others.
