Watermelon Slim - enthusiastic audience

Watermelon Slim and the Workers gave the audience a great show last night, and the audience responded in kind, with an enthusiastic appreciation. The Front Row (for a Sunday night) saw a good crowd of blues lovers, and those supporting the groups holding the show as a benefit. Watermelon Slim made several references to being a Vietnam Vet, and his rootedness and deep, intriguing set of life experiences comes through strong. He's a captivating performer for sure, with a solid band. They seem to mostly play festivals through this time of year, so a small club must be a major change of pace venue. This was a fine gathering of music lovers for the mid OHio Valley.
