About

Originally from the Sandhills of Nebraska, Slim Hanson traded his spurs and saddle for a guitar and microphone at the age of 14. Slim has been performing nationally as a guitarist and singer/songwriter for over 25 years, founding and leading such acclaimed projects as The Hellcat Trio and The Grand Marquis. Deeply rooted in country-western and delta blues he has shared the stage with the likes of Doyle “Butch” Primm, the late great Magic Slim, and Joe Ely. Slim Hanson and the Poor Choices was formed in 2015 performing quintessential Country and Western / Honky-Tonk classic and original songs about love, loss, and life. Turn your next event or special occasion into a real classic country celebration with Slim Hanson and the Poor Choices!
