Big Creek Slim is a bluesman as sure as the day is long. Don't believe it? Listen to that voice. Feel the passion and intensity he brings to the blues. Big Creek Slim's trademark is authentic pre-war country blues and early Chicago blues. Right now he is the hottest Scandinavian blues name and has received a rain of awards, and has wowed the blues crowds all over Europe.

He is supported by double bassist Rodrigo Mantovani, who creates a musical framework that frees Big Creek from the rhythmic constraints of a solo performance. A native of Brazil, Mantovani is an internationally recognized double bassist who, at the ripe old age of 38, has been playing professionally for more than 20 years. He is currently a member of the Nick Moss Band and lives in Chicago.

(With compliments to a friend.)

Marc Rune aka Big Creek Slim is a Danish blues man who recently moved to Brazil and has recorded yet another marvelous album. First Born comes on the heels of two outstanding 2017 releases. This time out he recorded the CD with the Sao Paulo based Chico Blues family of blues musicians and has made yet another thrilling record. He is accompanied by the album’s producer and bass player Rodrigo Mantovani. This Chico Blues Records offering is scheduled for a September 27th release date. It features a mix of Big Creek Slim originals and some thoughtful covers that fall into the rural/ country blues spectrum. Big Creek Slim is an accomplished blues singer and instrumentalist who plays dobro as well as twelve string, electric and acoustic guitars and even a banjo on one track. This record represents blues music at its finest and receives my highest recommendation. ~D.M.
