Bio
Slim and the Deuces have been part of the Canadian blues scene since the early 70's. Collectively, they had the good fortune to backup many of the greats (John Lee Hooker, Pinetop Perkins, Sunnyland Slim, Albert Collins, Luther Tucker, Homesick James, James Cotton, Freddie Roulette, Bill Johnson, Harpdog Brown). Slim is also a legendary Victoria busker who plays a multitude of instruments in his own one man show. The band recently released it's first CD "Live at the Blues Underground" which they are proud of. All the tracks listed here are from it. The band resides in Victoria and love the Island life. Thanks for your interest and support.

Victoria Times Colonist Review - Dec 18, 2008
SLIM & THE DEUCES - LIVE AT THE BLUES UNDERGROUND - (250-384-0236) Dave Harris a.k.a. Slim is a local treasure, a one-man band whose long-standing Inner Harbour busking career is a special gift for Victorians and visitors alike. His veteran band with bassist Greg Kennedy and drummer John Hunter has backed the likes of John Lee Hooker, Pinetop Perkins, and James Cotton in concert and packed local dance floors for years. This live recording from the band's recent performance at the Nanaimo Blues Festival captures Slim & the Deuces in full flight on several of Dave's originals and the band's version of blues and boogie classics by Johnny Fuller, King Biscuit Boy and Guitar Slim. This is certified, house-rockin' blues. jblake@tc.canwest.com © Copyright (c) The Victoria Times Colonist
