This cat is one of the finest young musicians in the Pioneer Valley,… newer material by Slater finds itself in a whole new realm... He is one of those performers who seems to somehow get better and better each night, but perhaps that's just a sign that he's growing on me... He skillfully navigates jams,. Any time I've watched him perform, I find myself in awe of his Elvis-esque delivery, his thought provoking lyrical prowess, and a collection of material that is ever expanding, and often quite technically demanding. Do yourself a favor and go see this man perform!
