Langhorne Slim

As a child, the now-Brooklynite, Pennsylvania-born Sean Scolnick yearned to reinvent himself as a black soul singer and adopted the pseudonym/country-western alter-ego Langhorne Slim (named for his hometown). It was on the Lower East Side of Manhattan that Slim conspired and convened with other would-be bluesmen and folksters like The Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players and his band, The War Eagles. His most recent, self-titled album was released in the spring on Kemado Records.
