Slim Butler hails from the unfamiliar hot bed of Finland?s blues scene, Rovaniemi. Ever since picking up his first guitar (cheap mail-order Lucky Seven) at the tender age of 12, he's been fronting local bands, always leaning towards blues, soul and rock. Never one to limit his musical focus, he is also an enthusiastic lover of funk, reggae and jazz. After honing his skills for decades, Slim has gradually evolved into a mighty fine guitarist, band leader, avid songwriter and recording artist with musical maturity and a vision to reckon with. Now at the forefront of the Finnish blues movement, he is not showing any signs of slowing down. Alongside his many musical activities, he is one helluva proud producer of the Roots'n River Blues festival in Rovaniemi, Finland. The event was founded in 1995 and is still kickin' strong.
