Slim and The Perkolators

Formed four years ago by veteran Philadelphia guitar player Tim "the Perkolator" Perks and young harmonica wiz Harmonica Slim in recognition of the combined passion for traditional blues, the band combine uptempo classic Chicago style house rocking blues, west coast jump/swing, rock and roll and raucous roots music that is both engaging, entertaining and interactive. Since our beginnings, we have played hundreds of gigs tearing up the local and regional scene and playing many of our areas blues festivals. 2019 saw the band inducted into the Pennsylvania Blues Hall of Fame and also the release of our debut self titled CD which we are proud to say has since been nominated for a Blues Blast Magazine award in the category of "Best debut CD". Since its release we have toured Florida and the Northeast and competed at the 2020 IBC's (semi finals). We are very eager to bring our music to an ever expanding field of listeners and we can't wait to meet y'all!!
