The Slackers - St Andrews Hall - Tues Feb 28th 7pm


The Slackers are true modern day masters who produce moments on stage that are amazing. The band is a lightning rod for talent fronted by the outstanding vocals, songwriting and keyboard playing of Vic Ruggiero, who happens to be supported by one of the hottest and most entertaining live bands today. The Slackers produce a unique blend of Vic�s heart wrenching soulful vocal style, percolating keyboard work tossed with Reggae-fied, Afro-Carribean flavor. It�s the epitome of what the Slackers do as a band.
