About Slim
Singer songwriter Mercury Slim spent his youth roaming the scenic state of New Mexico, never living anywhere for longer than a year.
During this time, music became his constant companion, the voices of melodic misfits like Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, and Nina Simone lending him the courage to blaze his own trail. He spent the years after high school honing his talent as a
drummer in local bands, but a growing passion for songwriting pushed him to branch off and
pursue a solo career. After becoming a regular at venues around Sante Fe and Albuquerque,
Mercury Slim headed west to try his luck in the City of Angels.
Two years in LA have helped Mercury Slim refine his sound into its current iteration: an uplifting
blend of old and new influences that lands somewhere between psychedelic folk and R&B. The self-taught musician draws inspiration from his psycho-spiritual and somewhat chaotic upbringing in the Southwest.
Whether singing about love, loss, or disdain for society, his central message is our ability to rise above.
Mercury Slim is currently recording his debut album with producer Jon Gilbert (Mt. Joy)

LIVE: MERCURY SLIM’S INTIMATE NIGHT AT THE STUDY
-ATWOOD MAGAZINE
As curious patrons wandered into the warm glow provided by the chandeliers that hung from the ceiling, LA Indie rocker Mercury Slim took the stage. Armed with an acoustic guitar and a signature wide brimmed hat, Slim kicked off the night with an upbeat tune called “Radiant Light.” As he drew the crowd in with his electric energy and impassioned grit, I couldn’t help but feel as if I were witnessing something much bigger than this room– the early shows of a soon to be rock star.
