Carrollwood Cultural Center presents SARASOTA SLIM with special guest NITRO BOZEMAN

Sarasota Slim's new CD, Get Up, Get Down, is a commingling of blues, funk, boogie, slide guitar and heaps of warm Southern charm. Gene Hardage, who grew up in Sarasota, is as authentic and talented as they come, having worked and toured with Lucky Peterson and earning his "Sarasota Slim" nickname from Rock Bottom. Internationally acclaimed, Hardage released four albums on Italian label Appaloosa and toured Europe.

Nitro Bozeman began playing harmonica in front of audiences at the tender age of seven and 60 years later, he still blows audiences away with his skilled harmonica playing. He was known as "Lil Red" in Chicago before moving to Florida and became the heart of Chicago Blues in Florida.
