SLICK JIMMY was formed in 2011 as a good time, party band and is comprised of 4 seasoned musicians who have been working the local music scene for 20 years in many popular area bands. Matt Palmer sings lead vocals and plays bass and really likes to interact with the crowd. Matts powerful vocals, energy and impressive vocal range give the band endless possibilities. Lindsie Ann on lead vocals and percussion. Lindsie is nothing less than an amazing lead vocalist and performer. She hits all the high notes with power and precision. Female vocals from the 80s can be very demanding. Lindsie has it covered. Jeff Lepcynski on drums and vocals gives excellent compliment to the bass and Jeff's incredible style and playing ability gives the rhythm section just what the band needs to keep the dance floor jumping. Brandon Lardie on lead guitar. Brandon is an experienced professional on and off the stage and can handle all the big lead guitar solos that 80's music demands.
Although formed in 2011, make no mistake, the collective experience of the members of SLICK JIMMY has had them on some of Michigan’s finest stages which has included the following: opening acts for many national headlining bands including WHITESNAKE, NICKELBACK, 7 MARY 3, GEORGIA SATELLITES and QUIET RIOT....also playing many major Michigan festivals including MARITIME FESTIVAL in Harbor Beach, THE AUBURN CORN FESTIVAL, CANTON LIBERTY FESTIVAL, BRINGIN' BACK THE 80S FESTIVAL, MIDLAND CRAFT BEER FESTIVAL and the DOW RIVER ROAR in Bay City.

What type of music will you hear at a SLICK JIMMY show? Mostly 80's dance music but not limited to just one genre. Cover songs from the “big hair” bands such as MOTLEY CRUE, POISON, BON JOVI, AUTOGRAPH and WHITESNAKE. You will also hear the pop side of the 80's from such bands as LOVERBOY, PRINCE, BLONDIE, PAT BENETAR, JOAN JETT, ROXETTE, HEART and SIMPLE MINDS. Mixing in classics like ROADHOUSE BLUES, MARGARITAVILLE, BRICK HOUSE AND SOME JOHNNY CASH is usually a great recipe for keeping the dance floor moving also. With SLICK JIMMY on stage you know your venue will have quality entertainment with the sound and the party atmosphere. This is a high energy and interactive show, not people just standing on stage playing music. Professional and good natured attitudes off stage as well make SLICK JIMMY the total package and a great overall choice for your entertainment needs. Got 80’s? GET SOME!
