For over 20 years, Slam Allen has been entertaining audiences with his unique blend of soul and blues. Playing the famous Chitlin' Circuit as well as performing around the world, Allen's music and enthusiasm has been shared with thousands of people. For the past eight years he has played an important role, as the lead singer and guitarist, in the legendary James Cotton Band. "It's one of the highlights and privileges of my life to play with Cotton" says Allen, "He is one of the last living legends, and there's so much history there. Cotton was directly connected to Muddy Waters -- who was a major factor in the blues world as well as being one of my all time favorites. Playing with Cotton is such a great experience for me and there are things you can learn from him that you can't learn from any school. It's a great honor."
Music is in Allen's blood -- he got his start from his father and uncles who were known as the Allen Brothers Band. Allen carries on the family legacy wherever he goes. His music runs deep. "When I play," says Allen, "People who may have never heard of me leave the show with a feeling that we're old friends or family."
From B.B. King to Otis Redding, Slam has a way of making you feel the Soul of the Music. Sometimes you can not tell if he is doing one of his originals or an old blues or soul cover. Regardless, he makes all the music his own.
I think this was 1987?? Johnny Grecco was there because that's his stupid "win a free weekend" sign & Steve Max & Eve Carter are still listed on the activities board.
Fiddlers Flea Market Needs bands to help promote the 'Help Thy Neighbor' campaign 2009 - support your local "AMERICAN" farmer! July 3rd through 5th!
BANDS - PLEASE - come and help support this by offering your music to share - lunch (hot dogs, hamburgers,chips & drink) in exchange for your services - must have full count by this Sunday so that we can get the shopping done!
As part of a new "Help Thy Neighbor" campaign for 2009 - Beginning July 3rd -Fiddlers Flea Market on route 17B in the town of Bethel offers free vendor spaces in an effort to help promote and suppport our local Sullivan County NY and neighboring Wayne county PA farmers. 10 10x10 spaces on our lot will be made available free of charge for the remainder of the season which ends in October. Vendors must have shelter and set up if so desired. Pop up tents and outdoor tables may be donated and designated strictly for the farmers use. They will be adorned with the words "Support your local farmer". The market is open Sat. - Sun. & Holildays - 9-5 every weekend rain or shine. Naturally, we don't expect the outdoor vendors to be here in the rain - so the farmers market will be weather permitting with no obligation on rainy days. Next year, we will establish an annual membership fee for minimal charge to each vendor of the farmers market. We're thinking along the lines of $200 per vendor for the entire year - would enjoy the feedback and look forward to making this work for you - our local farmers!!
