Be honest. Have you ever hired a band whose demo sounded good, their promo materials were professional, then they proceeded to bore the heck out of your audience? That will never happen with DANGEROUS JIM AND THE SLIMS. We pride ourselves not only on being great PERFORMERS, but also great “INTERACTERS”. We’ll “MEET” your audience during the show, not just perform for them. We’ll interact with them between sets, pre-show and post-show. When they leave your event it will be with a smile on their face and a true appreciation of what a good live show is.

We have played hundreds of concerts in the past six years, and, believe it or not, vocalist Dangerous Jim has played over 2000 shows in his career- all in the same boots!! The band has headlined RIVERFEST 6 times, an event that happens during Labor Day and draws over 500,000 people to each side of the OHIO RIVER. That is performing for at least 10,000 people during each RIVERFEST performance. We’ve performed at every major event in Cincinnati at least once during our career. We’ve performed pre-game concerts for both THE CINCINNATI REDS and THE CINCINNATI BENGALS. We played for only 8 people once because of inclement weather and we aren’t afraid to tell you. WE GAVE EVERYTHING WE HAD FOR THOSE 8 PEOPLE!!

We are all terrible dancers, but Dangerous Jim thinks he’s a good dancer. When you see him perform you’ll realize he is a terrible dancer who has fun trying. That’s what counts right? Occasionally and accidentally we’ll all do something similar at the same time – We call that choreography.

Every member of DANGEROUS JIM AND THE SLIMS is an accomplished musician. The combined musical experience of the band is over 1000 years!  (just checking to see if you are reading this).  Vocalist Dangerous Jim has won 3 Cincinnati Area Music Awards, released 3 full length albums with his previous band Leap Skyward, and won the Motley Crue KICKSTART YOUR CAREER Contest. Shawn David Anderson is one of Cinci’s best guitar players and one of the most sought after teachers in the Midwest. Watch our video or go to www.shawndavidanderson.com for more info. We also have a GREAT 3 – PIECE HORN SECTION!!! No lame sampled horns from us – We are the real deal. Our single “FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE” was included on the BUDWEISER 2005 TRUE MUSIC COMPILATION.

If our schedule allows it, we will perform either with our full band or acoustically on any radio show. We love doing interviews and have a complete press kit to make sure your event makes the paper. We’ll work closely with your sponsors to get their product or service maximum exposure. You’ll find we are very good at promoting events we are involved in.
