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.”
“Slam’s guitar is a generous blue fountain of love. His gospel is the kind you sign up for without hesitation. All are included in the circle of his light.”
