Add Review/Comment

Big Jim Slade CD Release Show in the Mercy Lounge with locally-based Southern rockers High N' Mighty and The Last Straw. Big riffs, harmony vocals, and finger-lickin good melodies -- this is Big Jim Slade. Believe it or not, all four members of Big Jim Slade have known each other since before they could sprout a whisker. Chris and Clay grew up together in Paducah, KY cruising in Clay's Camaro, listening to KISS, Cheap Trick, Van Halen, Rush, etc., while making their own rock in the garage. Meanwhile, Rob and Jon were 20 minutes down the road in Benton, KY watching "Live at El Mocambo" most every night, and playing Hendrix and Zeppelin covers in the basement. All four knew each other, and also knew that Western Kentucky wasnt exactly a hotbed for original rock music at the time, so all four eventually landed in Nashville, TN and created Big Jim Slade in 1997.

    I was pretty bummed when I heard the show was being moved to The Cannery Ballroom. I was looking forward to seeing them at The Mercy Lounge, but it ended up being a blast! They sounded super tight and of course the crowd went nuts for Steady as She Goes. Level was another highlight. The opening band Magic Wands were really good, a lot of people seemed to dig them. Overall a great night! Collapse
