Tim "Too Slim" Langford, Dave "Groove Master" Nordstrom, and Zachariah Timothy Cooper, are the masterminds behind Too Slim and the Taildraggers.
With their unique style of the blues, roots-rock, Americana, rockabilly & surf, they have been one of the Northwest's most sought after blues-rock bands for 20 years. The three-piece band hails from Seattle, Washington (originally from Spokane, Washington) where their devoted regional fan base has grown over the years into a national and international following.
Their commitment to touring and their last five record releases are attributed to the band's growing demand. The trio has just released their most ambitious album to date entitled "Tales of Sin and Redemption" on the VU Records Label.
This record is an evolutionary step in the bands development with a combination of contemporary and traditional influences. "Too Slim" has found a unique niche with a sound that can only be defined as his own.
The bandŐs live sets are legendary, featuring blazing guitar solos and astute slide work of Tim "Too Slim" Langford. His raw, high energy, yet smooth fretwork have often been compared to the late Lightnin' Hopkins, George Thorogood, and Johnny Winter.
The powerhouse rhythm section of "skin-pounding" drummer Zachariah Timothy Cooper and bass man Dave "Groove-Master" Nordstrom propels this trio allowing "Too Slim" the freedom to ride smoothly above their driving pulse.
