Slippery Hill has almost completed recording the music for our first album, which we expect to release this Spring, 2024! Mixed and mastered by Jerry Brown at the Rubber Room, with guest appearances from our friends Andrew Marlin, Jim Watson, and Simon Dunson, along with our band mates Robbie Link, John Boulding and Fiddlin' Al McCanless, Jackson and Charles are thrilled to be able to get this music out there soon!
Slippery Hill's first EP recording has been accepted by the Chapel Hill Public Library's "Tracks Music Library", and is available for streaming and downloads.
Slippery Hill is booking 2024 Winter and Spring private parties and concerts now!
Review from a Slippery Hill wedding event:
"Charles, I cannot tell you how many compliments I received on [Slippery Hill]. You really set the tone from the moment the guests arrived to ushering them into the reception. Having such a fun bluegrass band to kick off the day was exactly what we needed."
M. Kester, Luna and Charlie Events

"Upon being presented with the opportunity to have Charles in our fourth grade classrooms, I jumped at it. Telling the story of North Carolina from its early days via bluegrass music was joyful for my students. To see them dancing around and clapping along from their rooms to music many had never heard before, made me incredibly happy.”
--Shane Chinni, 4th Grade Teacher, Glenwood Elementary School, Chapel Hill, NC
