Tim "Too Slim" Langford - slides into Omak for an unplugged set with his special blend of guitar work.
Too Slim's music showcases a diverse knowledge of blues, rock, Louisiana swamp music with an occasional touch of country and western. He brings his strong, clear and active blues-rock guitar work to The Breadline Cafe in an unplugged session - actually he likes to use an electrified acoustic guitar.
Tim "Too Slim " Langford started playing guitar at the age of 14. His musical education includes five years of guitar instruction by teachers Fritz Hinkel, Chuck Phillips and Jack Campbell. He also studied two years of music theory at Spokane Falls Community College and Eastern Washington University.
His early guitar and musical influences included Duane Allman, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, BB King, Otis Rush, Lightnin' Hopkins, Elmore James, Creedence Clearwater, The Beatles, Santana, Robert Cray, Jimmy Vaughn, Jimmy Thackery, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Kenny Burrell, Freddie King, Muddy Waters and Robert Johnson.
Langford formed Too Slim and the Taildraggers in 1986 in order to play original blues and rock.
"My main objective when I started this band was to play original blues and roots-style music, travel all over the country and make records," says Langford.
In the early 1990s Langford also got heavily into acoustic style blues and performed solo in addition to the band gigs.
"I intend to continue what I am doing," says Langford. "It's the best job in the world."
Spend a pleasant night listening to the Inland Empire's greatest blues slide guitar player. Hear a legend in his own time. Too Slim & The Taildraggers have been voted by Inland Empire Blues Society the Best Blues Band for many years, and Langford Best Blues Guitarist.
