Performer of the Week: Snow-Heel Slim

Hamilton's Snow-Heel Slim is definitely unique. With his incredible band, the Boogie Infection, he plays rockabilly and blues but with more of a raw/almost punk edge. If you're looking for something different, you should check him out.

Slim's also the guitar player for Ginger St. James' band, the Grinders.

There isn't much about Slim online but he let's his music do the talking.

New Ginger St. James and the Grinders CD: Spank, Sparkle and Growl

If you've ever seen Ginger St. James live, you know the sultry songstress does it all: blues, swing, country, rockabilly and more. Her debut CD EP (with the Grinders), Spank Sparkle & Growl is a reflection of her diverse talent.

While most of the six songs in this collection lean toward the lounge/swing sound (Swing About You, Boom Boom Room, Don't Deceive Me), there are elements of rockabilly (Lonely Cryin' Blues, Devil Dance), and pop (Lullaby).

The Grinders - (Snow-heel Slim: guitar, Tyrone Ramsey: upright bass, Greg Brisco: keys, and Andre Tellier: drums) play with a lot of energy and deliver a rockin' beat to back up Ginger's wonderful vocals.

The CD is available at her shows.

Below are some live performances of songs from this CD.
