El Dorado Slim featuring Scott Sharrard of Little Feat & Gregg Allman Band!

  • Shanghai Jazz 24 Main Street Madison, NJ, 07940 United States (map)

This is truly a “not to be missed” performance!

Where Bill Graham’s Fillmore East meets Detroit’s Club Mozambique you will find the sounds of NYC’s, Eldorado Slim. Led by Little Feat guitarist, Scott Sharrard, the 6 piece lineup consists of some of NYC’s finest musicians. The band takes it’s name from an obscure Little Feat jam from the early ‘70’s

Sharrard describes Elorado Slim’s mix of 1970’s instrumental covers as a “blend of acid funk and space spirituals.” The band takes their sound and repertoire from one of the richest chapters in American roots music history. Inspired by the consciousness expanding and hypnotic, impovisational funk of the era, music by artists like Grant Green, Eddie Harris, Lonnie Smith, the Crusaders, Cannonball Adderley, King Curtis, Chico Hamilton and Stuff. Eldorado Slim also nods to Scott Sharrard’s work with Greg Allman and Little Feat by occasionally doing their own instrumental interpretations of tunes from those iconic rock & roll songbooks.

Since the fall of 2008, Scott Sharrard has been the touring guitarist for the Gregg Allman Band. He’s been called “One of the best guitarists in the country” by Billboard and “the next Eric Clapton or Mike Bloomfield” by the Indianapolis Star Tribune . Gregg Allman, has high praise for the guitarist. “I know all about guitar players —I’ve seen the very best — and Scott Sharrard is the perfect guitarist for my band. He understands that you don’t need to play just for the sake of playing; Scott isn’t one of those guys who thinks they’re getting paid by the note. He never steps on the vocals, and leaves plenty of room for everyone else to do their thing, but when it’s time to solo, Scott delivers, boy.” This will be the first of a summer series with Scott’s band and every show will be different and amazing!
