Bill “Watermelon Slim” Homans is an extraordinary blues man and we are thrilled to be welcoming him to the Drill Hall for this special concert. Harp Magazine wrote ‘From sizzling slide guitar…to nitty-gritty harp blowing…to a gruff, resonating Okie twang, Slim delivers personal working-man blues with both hands on the wheel of life, a bottle of hooch in his pocket, and the Bible on the passenger seat.’ Paste Magazine said ‘He’s one hell of a bottleneck guitarist. The most exciting and authentic blues performer I’ve heard in years.’
Don’t miss this chance to see such a master blues man practising his craft!
