About Slim and the Heavy Set
Slim and the Heavy Set, born from the open mic scene at Soundcheck Studios, began as a three piece interpreting Dylan and the Grateful Dead. Playing south shore bars, the band quickly gained a local following and reputation for deep improvisational jams and aggressive lead guitar. Recently adding keys and percussion, the band is now a freight train rolling heavy with a thick rhythm section under Slim’s cutting guitar licks. The band still covers the Dead and Dylan with a twist, but have also added originals to their set that represent the eclectic tastes of the band.
