SLM

SLM http://www.slmmusic.com is rated as Wisconsin's #1 jam band (http://www.musicmates.com/vote.php?question=99) and reverbnation has them rated as #1 for reggae/world music in Milwaukee, WI (http://www.reverbnation.com/slmsupportlivemusic)

Not just a jam band, not a reggae band, or a jazz ensemble, or a rock band, but all fused together to form the original sound of SLM. Every song has a uniquness to it. You will hear bluesy flowing guitar solos to shredding head banging licks, to slow jazzy sounds or reggae dub from song to song. We were sick of hearing the same songs over and over on the radio. It's to the point where every band sounds the same. With an appreciation for all styles of music, we're trying to create something for everybody. Our main goal, make you dance, party, and enjoy all aspects of life and music!

The band has had over 20 different musicians share the stage and the name of SLM. Through evolution and learning from each other we have come upon a lineup that gels and jams as one unit, creating the greatest sounds and jams the band has ever experienced. A high level of musicianship and the ability to listen to each other are key requirements for the band, and something we pride ourselves on.

Current Lineup:

Don Woppert - Vocals, Guitar

Matt Ostlund - Sax

Antonio Ninham - Drums
