Magic Slim signed the record deal, but were not expecting the next step to be any easier. The members of the band all quit their other jobs to focus on their music.
Magic Slim knew that living life as a musician was a actual possibility in 1983, as soon as the band's first fan club was started by Laura Cochrane. The club started out small, with just a handful of members around Buffalo. After the group’s first national tour the club grew dramatically, reaching a membership in the thousands.
Magic Slim's most current album is the band's first project since the band broke up six years ago. The group is in the start of the accompanying tour for their new album. Magic Slim plans to spend some time apart after this next tour, allowing the group members to rest.
Magic Slim appreciates that they are able to do what they love because of the fans, so they play the hits off their new project as well as the classics. Magic Slim’s tickets for their latest tour are on sale on Ticket Specialists, along with the schedule of all the band’s concerts.
