Rhythm & Blues, Boogie and Boogaloo!
Based in Brighton
Brought together late 2022 for what they thought would be a one-off gig, the Southern Slamdoor Band found playing together was such fun they decided to carry on!
Four musicians from diverse music backgrounds, all with a great deal of experience from playing in many different bands, the Southern Slamdoor Band have gone on to create their own unique and popular brand of up-tempo, good-time rhythm & blues, boogie and boogaloo!
