Langhorne Slim

A rootsy singer and songwriter with a knack for heartfelt songs that draw on blues, folk, and country traditions, Langhorne Slim gives his music a sense of rough-hewn sincerity that can be both raucous and introspective. Langhorne is comfortable performing solo or with his combos the War Eagles or the Law, whose membership can expand or contract with his needs, though his performances tend to lean toward semi-acoustic contemporary folk. Langhorne Slim made an impressive, energetic debut with his 2005 album When the Sun's Gone Down, he began experimenting with bigger arrangements and production in 2009's Be Set Free, and 2021's Strawberry Mansion was a deeply personal set written in the wake of a personal crisis.
