Throw four musically talented guys together, add a little 80's and 90's flavor, mix in a great location and you have the perfect recipe for fun.

'Castaways' on Bay City's, Kawkawlin River was host to this great band and a fun time was had by all.

'Slick Jimmy' is compromised of Matt Palmer on lead vocals/bass, Brian Coonan-vocals/guitar, John Laverty on keys and Kenny Hall on drums/vocals.

From the bands Biography, they state, "Slick Jimmy was put together in 2012 as a good time, party band with 4 experienced musicians from some of the area's biggest bands. Dr Rock, Clay Toys, One Pump Daisy just to name a few. The band has rockin' tunes, harmony vocals, and a party attitude - come on out to a show!"

If you like a variety of some of the best music of the 80's and 90's ranging from Loverboy, Van Halen, Autograph, Santana, Poison and more, then 'Slick Jimmy' is your band.
