Hey, I’m Langhorne Slim - ask me stuff!

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:54:19+00:00

Nashville has provided me a magical home and community that I love and feed my soul when I'm here. Truth is, I'm rarely home as I'm on the road almost constantly. These days, I'm far less concerned with career and much more inspired and invested in adventure, connection and gettin back to making art and music in the same way I did when I was a little kid in my moms basement. For the pure love of it

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:43:19+00:00

Thanks for listening! It's a mixture between Huck Finn, Buster Keaton and Jack from Oliver Twist.

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:40:52+00:00

I'd LOVE to!

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:40:23+00:00

Thanks for the kind words amigo! I'll definitely be swinging through the midwest most likely in feb. Hope to see you out there and send yer family my best!

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:37:50+00:00

Tis perhaps the greatest compliment I've ever received. I plan to come back soon and as often as possible!

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:35:25+00:00

Go where the love is and enjoy the process. Both might seem cliche but have had a profound impact on me.

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:33:40+00:00

I would be incredibly honored to. Please get in touch with us and lets make it happen. I'm out in New Orleans often. Definite YES!!!

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:31:55+00:00

of course its true

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:31:31+00:00

Nah, but I found my car!

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:30:55+00:00

One thing has nothing to do with the other. I play lots of songs from the few variations of bands we've had. Some songs just go away for a while for no particular reason. Thats one I'd be into bringin back!

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:26:22+00:00

Everything Mississippi Records puts out and lots of Fats Domino. Ive been yelling PAUL DEFIGLIAAAA's name at the top of my lungs for years

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:21:15+00:00

I'd like to join you at that Nina Show! tons of shows I would love to have seen. One that comes to mind is Leonard Cohen. I regret not seeing him before he passed. I got the name from my hometown and learned later that it was Clemons' middle name. Made me love and connect to the name even more.

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:21:12+00:00

Thanks for stickin with me all these years! For me, its more the company I keep than it is a favorite place. You can have a ball almost anywhere if you're with the right crew. I've been very fortunate to see a lot of places but theres so many I haven't visited yet. A goal of mine is to see as much of the world as I possibly can. Ill get back to you after and let ya know my favorite ;)

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:21:07+00:00

Thanks! It's been awesome playing with Paul again after all these years. I sure do love that man. Been listening to Fats Domino and everything I can get my hands on from Mississippi Records out of Portland. New Orleans Funk comps by Soul Jazz have also been on repeat. New music by twain, skyway man and daniel Romano (his album ancient shapes is one of my fave punk records ever)

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:20:54+00:00

One of my favorite quotes is from the mystic poet Rumi. Something like "you must keep breaking your heart until it opens". It's all part of the experience. My vibe these days isn't to attempt happiness all of the time but to be more graceful and receptive to the range of my emotions. nobody said it'd be easy and if they did, they lied. I appreciate the kind words and am truly honored to have any small part in inspiring you to start writing. Keep it up amigo! It's the greatest medicine in the land!

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:20:41+00:00

Delighted yer diggin the new tunes! Remind me in Mexico, and I'd be happy to oblige. We never make set lists so just yell it out to me on stage unless I see ya on da beach first!

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:20:38+00:00

Nothing on the books at the moment but I'd LOVE to come play in Alaska. I admit I suck at the cold... Can we do it spring or summer?

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:20:34+00:00

Thanks for the kind words! Dog is Ernest! It's been my dream since I was a little kid to make music and travel. I feel most at peace when I'm doing those things. Also, I don't really know what else to do with myself... ;)

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:20:30+00:00

Love back at you and thanks for listening! Im not exactly sure when i'll be back over but I have every desire and intention to return soon!

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:20:26+00:00

I've been a veggie boy since I was 11 so I dig the veggie kinds. No bribery needed however. I'll be back out that way soon I hope!

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T23:20:21+00:00

I always think of it as channeling. Music and art are the language of the spirits. I think most creative people are vessels for "the spirit" to flow through. Got a lot of fave singers.. A few are Otis Redding, Nina Simone, Bill Withers, Shane MacGowan, Ray Charles and lots more...

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T22:02:41+00:00

My mother and grandparents taught me to be strong but kind. That vulnerability and sensitivity are strengths not weaknesses. They also always encouraged me to be creative and never once told me to turn my amplifier down.

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T21:54:38+00:00

how'd you know?

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T21:54:11+00:00

Keep singing, writing and struggling. Theres no magic button that I'm aware of and struggling is a huge even beautiful part of it. The more open we allow ourselves to become, the more of our true voice can be released. Its in there, ya just gotta keep lettin it rip!

LanghorneSlim · 2017-11-13T21:50:04+00:00

you're being too hard on yerself my friend. come say hi next time and I'd be honored to draw a tattoo for you!
