Slide Man Slim on SoundBetter

Chromatic Harmonica Specialist with 40 years recording experience playing Pop, Jazz, Brazilian, R&B, Americana and Experimental music. Major influences include Stevie Wonder and Toots Thielemans.

I love finding that special something a song needs, that thing that helps to create a goose bumps moment that chromatic harmonica (the one with the button) can be so good at. Be it an emotional ballad, a funky groove, a swing, or a shuffle, I strive to bring out the best in the tune. I don't watch the clock when I'm recording as my main focus is doing what's right for the music.

While I'm very active as a multi-instrumentalist, composer and producer recording my and my partner's songs as "Slide Man Slim & Penny Hanna", I love doing harmonica tracks for clients and musician friends. It's something I've been doing since 1980.

My well-equipped project studio has been evolving ever since the 1980's and currently includes the latest in excellent sounding pro gear.

Thanks for considering me for your project!

It was a great experience working with Slide - he's the real deal. Nice guy, determined to please, really proficient on Chromatic, on a really difficult piece. He has inspired ideas and a super intuative ear, as well. Plus his playing is unmatched!
