Indie recording artist, singer-songwriter and producer Bob Slaughter serves up an eclectic musical palette, infusing world music – reggae, Celtic, and Afro-beat – with folk, rock, jazz and Texas Swing, all with a healthy dose of contemporary psychedelic sensibility. In addition to The World Passes By, Slaughter has self-produced and released four other albums: We Are Water (2017), The River Knows (2014), Leap of Faith (2011), and Bob Here Now (2009). A longtime player in the Austin music scene, Slaughter has performed as an opener for such bands as Andrew Tosh & the Peter Tosh Band, Ini Kamoze, Yellow Man, along with other bands from Jamaica and Africa, and performed at such legendary venues as Austin’s Liberty Lunch. Slaughter is an accomplished live-looping solo artist accompanying himself on guitar. He also performs with his Laughing Waters trio, and a collective of Hill Country Americana musicians known as Ghost Jam. Deeply committed to the spreading of “love consciousness,” Bob’s music serves as a vehicle to “raise awareness of what’s important in our world.”
