Tim “Too Slim” Langford, with his band the Taildraggers, have created an
eclectic style of roots-rock, Americana and blues that has become a genre
all its own. Too Slim's everevolving musical direction cannot be classified
into any box or category. The eclectic nature of the band allows Too Slim
and the Taildraggers to easily cross-over and appeal to audiences of various
musical tastes.
Too Slim and the Taildraggers are headliners at theaters, festivals and
concert stages. The band has shared the stage with the likes of Bo Diddley,
Brian Setzer, Johnny Lang, .38 Special, Robert Cray, Otis Rush, Jeff Healey,
Ted Nugent, Los Lobos, Lonnie Mack, Blue Oyster Cult, Heart, Travis Tritt,
Junior Brown, Gatemouth Brown, Neil McCoy, Delbert McClinton, Blues
Traveler, Steppenwolf, Johnny and Edgar Winter.
The band’s last CD The Fortune Teller, charted as high as #9 on the
Billboard magazine Top Blues Album sales chart in 2007 and 2008. The Fortune
Teller was also nominated for “Best Contemporary Blues Album” at the 2008
“Blues Blast Music
Awards” in Chicago. This award-winning band has been voted “Best Regional
Act” 11 times by the Cascade Blues Association, the largest organization of
its kind in the USA.
Too Slim and the Taildraggers have received multiple awards from various
North West Reader’s polls and other North West blues societies for “Best
Band” and “Best Album.” Founding member Langford has won multiple individual
awards as “Best Guitarist,”
“Best Slide Guitarist” and “Best Songwriter.” Too Slim and the Taildraggers
are also in the Hall of Fame of three North West blues societies. Their
devoted fan base has grown over the years into a national and international
following.
As one reviewer explained the band, “experiencing a Too Slim and the
Taildraggers concert is like taking a journey through the history of
American music. Too Slim’s musical style ranges from down home blues, funky
blues rock, Americana, southern
swamp rock and instrumental guitar styles.”
