www.hollywoodslimandthefatcats.com

Since their formation in 2004, Hollywood Slim & The Fat Cats have played at every major festival in Ireland, from the Kilkenny Rhythm & Roots to the Cork Jazz, winning new fans with every show and rapidly increasing their fast assembled following, both domestically and internationally. Fronting this band is the enigmatic Hollywood Slim whose distinctive soul drenched vocals and razor sharp harmonica playing are spectacularly complimented by the dynamic multi-layered performances of guitar maestro, Junior Hynes. Drawing mainly from the West Coast blues style, Slim takes his Little Walter inspired Mississippi saxophone right over to Chicago, then west to California, wailing up an unholy storm. The solid-groove rhythm section, with “Papa” Hynes on drums and Screamin’ Jay Mulally on bass, swings resolutely throughout while ace blues guitarist Junior Hynes sets pulses racing with fiery T-Bone Walker/B.B. King inspired licks. Adding a little extra spice to the mix is fat cat newcomer Salvatore Urbano on keyboards.
