Virtuosic piano playing, searing harmonica, and inspiration drawn from iconic Crescent City musicians such as Professor Longhair, James Booker, Allen Toussaint and Dr. John. The Slimline Shufflers are a dynamic New Orleans-style rhythm’n‘blues band hailing from Bristol, UK.

Stateside, they supported the Rebirth Brass Band during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival 2024, and performed with a who’s who of legendary New Orleans musicians. These included members of the Dirty Dozen Brass Band at Professor Longhair’s former house on Terpsichore St, where the official second line culminated as the steet was renamed to Professor Longhair Lane.

They have toured the UK extensively with highlights including Suffolk’s Maverick Festival and Gloucester’s Cajun and Zydeco Festival.

Following the release of their critically acclaimed debut album “Suspicious Blues”, The Slimline Shufflers are currently recording their self-written sophomore LP, due for release in early 2026.
