Cincinnati Slim (AKA KC Elstun) was born in 1955 and grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. He began playing music at the age of eight, starting with the drums and later adding harmonica, saxophone, and guitar. He was playing in groups by age thirteen, and was heavily influenced by the rhythm and blues music being played in the Midwestern USA at that time. He was introduced to Chicago blues while listening to the radio late one night. “I was about fourteen when I heard Howlin’ Wolf on the radio. It blew my mind. After that, all I wanted to do was play harp and sing the blues."
He began playing professionally in 1977. In 1985, after spending seven years as a sideman in various groups, he formed the highly successful Cincinnati Slim and the Headhunters. The group toured regionally for almost twelve years, recorded an album for MoPro Records, and was the opening act for numerous artists including BB King, Bobby Bland, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, and many, many more. He has appeared onstage with blues legends such as Bo Diddly, The Legendary Blues Band, and guitar great Lonnie Mack.
Several years ago Slim shifted his focus to Delta style blues, and currently sings and plays solo bottleneck blues guitar. He now makes his home in the Rhone-Alpe region of France.
