About

The Slippery Hill Boys are the perfect band for any hoedown, hog roast, Wild West party or wedding barn dance. From cool laid back blues to blisteringly fast bluegrass classics this band is a must for all lovers of Americana.

These good ol' boys will take you on a journey to the southern states of America with musical purity and enthusiasm that is so sadly lacking from much of today's music.

Need to dance at your party or hoedown? No problem, the band's barn dance caller will make sure you don't put a foot wrong.

The Slippery Hill Boys mix of Bluegrass, Blues and Old Timey music is based on American folk traditions. Strictly speaking they're not a country or country music band but there are definite similarities.

The band is perfect for performances where an American feel is essential and is perfect for Wild West style barn dances and hoedowns.

Where are they based?

The band is based in North Staffordshire and regularly play throughout the West Midlands and North West
