Langhorne Slim - Sunset Tavern - Seattle, WA

An intimate solo performance by Langhorne Slim couldn't have been a more accurate description of his show at the Sunset Tavern on Tuesday night. About 200 fans packed the tiny bar, and were treated to two full hours of story-telling, anecdotes, and plenty of songs about plenty of women. And somehow he managed to hypnotize us with just a stool, a notebook, and an acoustic guitar. 

A Law-less Slim joked around and interacted with the crowd, and also took it down to silence while performing Song for Sid in memory of his grandfathers and a friend's mom. He encouraged the us all to dance if it was our time to dance, and stomped through some of his greatest hits with serious passion. Being without his band allowed his voice to stand out like never before. 

The night ended with Slim on top of the bar, leading the crowd in a singalong of You Are My Sunshine per audience request. After

the show he invited everyone to come chat with him, as he always does. Only this time we felt like we knew him on a whole different level.

It baffles my mind that Langhorne Slim can keep bringing this kind of energy every night. They gave the people what they wanted; a foot stomp'n, banjo play'n, hootenanny of a night! Recently playing on Conan, Langhorne Slim have been on the road promoting their vivacious new album "The Way We Move." Once again proving they can stand out among the rest.

TONIGHT: Langhorne Slim / Ha Ha Tonka / Kingsley Flood at The Middle East

If you're looking for something to do tonight, there's no better choice than heading to the Middle East for what has to be one of the strongest bills of the year so far.  Langhorne Slim, Ha Ha Tonka and local favorites Kingsley Flood are going to bring a heavy dose of gritty, sweaty Americana to Central Square and I suggest you be there.
