Spend Sunday With The Hollywood Slim Band

No matter where I’ve called home, I’ve always been a fan of the local library. The books. The quiet. Living in Lakewood though, you’ve got to know we have something extraordinary in the way of libraries. In addition to a robust collection of books, movies and music, a computer lab with free training and assistance, free films and theatrical performances, and wonderful children’s programs, our library’s Sunday with the Friends programming brings an astounding lineup of musical talent playing for the public nearly every weekend!

Case in point: 2:00 p.m. Sunday, February 5 in Lakewood Public Library’s Main Auditorium you can spend your afternoon grooving to the live music of Howlin' Wolf, Little Walter Jacobs, Sonny Boy Williamson, Ray Charles, Louis Jordan, Louis Prima, Louis Armstrong, and The Nat King Cole Trio. These are the artists celebrated and brought to life by The Hollywood Slim Band. Hollywood Slim and his brother John have been harmonizing on swing, jazz and blues standards for over thirty-five years. Unique vocal styling paired with artful emulation of the instrumental mastery of Charlie Christian and Charlie Parker gives this band a classic, vintage, rockin’ sound. Don’t miss the opportunity to meander right down the street and hear this talented treasure strut, swing and holler the blues right out of winter in Northeast Ohio.

Every Sunday with the Friends program is free and open to the public thanks to generous funding from the Friends of Lakewood Public Library. No registration is needed. Call (216) 226-8275 ext. 127 for more information.
