Watermelon Slim is one of the most popular bluesman in the world today. To date, Watemelon Slim has received over 20 Blues Music Award nominations, including wins for Band of the Year and Album of the Year. In 2011, Watermelon Slim was nominated for DVD of the year. After releasing two country music CDs, and one duo CD with Super Chikan, Slim has been reunited with his band - The Workers. The result is a stunning mix of original blues songs covering a mix of topics from US foreign policy to trucking; a jazz duet with Danielle Schneblelen - lead vocalist with Trampled Under Foot; a terrific new country song, and some amazing covers…
