Prakash Slim at The Porch

Saturday, June 15 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

The Porch invites you to enjoy an afternoon of blues from Nepal, courtesy of Prakash Slim (Ram Prakash Pokharel). Slim started hearing old blues records when he was a child living in poverty in India, and he first played music by drumming on a set of gallon water jugs, singing to the beat all day. He grew up to play and teach the blues for a long time, and for over 12 years he played lead, rhythm and bass guitar as well as was vocalist for various bands throughout Nepal. After completing serious blues research with the Mt. Zion Memorial Fund in Mississippi and going through blues mentorship training with blues jazz pioneer T. J Wheeler, he shifted to country blues style. Free admission for the music; table reservations recommended if you plan to dine.
