Slim Golba is considered to be one of Arizona's truely uniqie musical treasures. He has entertained the valley for over 30 years, playing in bands such as The Overtones, Space Rig, The Big Bang Jazz Band, B.A. Tango, Oso, Stained Glass Door, Sili Pudi, Tribes, and Gentry. Playing leads on his fretless bass through effects pedals, his sound has been likened to a cosmic violin.
Slim has been playing in "Just Intonation" for the past seven years; JI is music that uses pure natural harmonies instead of "equal-tempered" tones that the world adopted during the classical era. Slim's band, The Overtones, are a 6-piece pcychedelic pop band that play on his specially designed JI guitars.
Learn more about Just Intonation in Slim's book, "Urgent Warning For All Music Lovers!", available through the link above.
This Overtones latest CD release, "Big Love For Citrus" is dedicated to Slim's daughter Citrus Seva Golba. Citrus lost her battle with Cystic Fibrosis at three years of age. She was an extremely happy and beautiful brown eyed little girl that made many works of art, played the drums, and danced to The Temptations. She loved her daddy's music and taking long walks and bike rides. Citrus touched more souls in her three short years than most people do in a lifetime. More can be read about her in "The passing of my niece" written by her Aunt Sherry in the blog section. May God be with you, Citrus.
We hope you enjoy our music and look forward to seeing you out at our shows.
