FeedSpree Music with E. Lovria: Langhorne Slim
Afraid those post-holiday blues are going to get you down? Worried that you may very well succumb to mid-winter boredom now that all the big parties are over? Be it prevention or cure, one of the many good shows coming to the area this winter is Langhorne Slim at The Ninth Ward at Babeville on Wednesday, January 11. His sweet melodies are sure to melt away any boredom or depression you may feel this time of year.
Born Sean Scolnick, Langhorne Slim hails from Langhorne, PA and began his touring career with the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players. Critics took notice of this musician in 2004 with his song “Electric Love Letter” from his album of the same name, and Rolling Stone named it one of its top ten critics picks. Slim continues to impress with his latest effort, “Be Set Free”, sticking with his usual formula of combining heart-warming, folk-like melodies with prolific lyrics, leaving even the most desperate feeling hope.
With happy, audience sing-along tunes like “Hello Sunshine” and “Cinderella”, you can’t help yourself but smile. For folk purists, he offers other songs just as beautifully melodic with “So Glad that I’m Coming Home” and the deeply soulful “Diamonds and Gold”.
Joining him are drummer Malachi DeLorenzo, bassist Jeff Ratner and keyboardist/banjo player David Moore and each blend their talents together in a manner that highlights the band’s unique musical quality for the betterment of the audience.
Tickets are currently on sale for $11.00. Doors open at 7pm and the show will begin at 8pm. See you there!
Elizabeth Lovria is a graduate of Lake Shore Central Schools and Syracuse University. She resides in Hamburg with her husband and their daughter.
