New York native Slam Allen is one helluva entertaining musician, just one
of many musicians in his family he has found his niche in the music industry
just entertaining crowds wherever he goes, he's recently finished a long term
gig as vocalist/guitarist for the James Cotton Blues Band and yes he surely can
play and sing the blues, but his style and repetoire is so diverse that on any
given night when he plays, he'll cover B.B.King, Albert King, Buddy Guy, Howling
Wolf, then switch gears and play some Soul or R & B .

His sound vocally could be reminiscent of Otis Redding, his guitar changes with each
song, slippery fast like Stevie Ray, or slow tasty powerful guitarwork that pays tribute
to all the blues masters, anyway you like it he'll bring it.

This night was Slam's birthday, some friends showed up to play as well as Slam's Uncle Cecil
who sat in for a couple song's mostly playing cover song's, some point during the show
Slam walks around the crowd playing and singing even sitting down for a bit then passes
off the guitar to a young man who commences to wail a bit on the guitar.


All in all a great night listening to a great musician having fun.



If you don't know Slam Allen and like soul drenched blues this is your man !
