News / Contest Win Tickets to Langhorne Slim's New Year's Eve Show!

Posted by Ned Lannamann on Tue, Dec 20, 2011 at 10:36 AM

[UPDATE: This contest is closed and the winner has been notified.]

Langhorne Slim settled in Portland a short time back, and last year he hosted a New Year's Eve show here in town. He's continuing the tradition this year, this time with the Builders and the Butchers on board as well, at the Bagdad Theater.

Langhorne Slim and the Law have just finished recording their latest record, The Way We Move, up in the Catskills at Old Soul Studios. That record, which was culled from more than 25 tracks that Slim & Co. laid to tape, is due out on May 22 of next year, but I bet he'll play a couple songs from it at the show. In the meantime, check out this take of "Song for Sid," one of those new tunes, which Slim performed for Live & Breathing, forgoing his usual acoustic guitar in favor of a Fender Telecaster.

But hey! You're here to win some tickets, aren't you? And that's what we've got: A pair of tickets to Langhorne's New Year's Eve show at the Bagdad. (That's Saturday, December 31.) To win, send an email to contest@portlandmercury.com with "Langhorne Slim" in the subject line. Please include your first and last name, plus the name of your favorite Langhorne Slim tune. We'll select a winner at random out of the eligible entries. This contest will close Friday at noon. Good luck!
