The Slimline Shufflers

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.

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

Stateside, they shared a bill with the Rebirth Brass Band at The Howlin’ Wolf, during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival 2024, and performed with a few members of The Dirty Dozen Brass Band at Professor Longhair’s former house on Terpsichore St, where the official second line culminated as the street was renamed to Professor Longhair Lane.

Following the release of their well-received debut album “Suspicious Blues”, The Slimline Shufflers released their first ever collection of original songs, “Turbo Island EP”, in May 2026.
