Before moving to Texas in 2006, Bob “Slim Bawb” Pearce was the leader of  the Sacramento Area Music Hall of Fame band the Beer Dawgs. The Dawgs released 10 albums together and still play reunion shows once a year. After moving to Texas, Slim Bawb spent some time kicking around with Hill Country favorites the Chubby Knuckle Choir. But these days when he hits the stage or records a new batch of original songs, it’s under his own name. His calling card is “swamp” music, played on banjo, resonator guitar, mandolin, pedal steel and anything else he can get his hands on, and he serves up every note and word of it with “Gristle & Guts” to spare. Add his ferociously talented bandmates the Fabulous Stumpgrinders to that mix, and the result is guaranteed gritty, greasy, gnarly and most of all, fun.
