​Ottomatic Slim & His Band

​Psychedelic rock and blues harmonica virtuoso Ottomatic Slim (aka Otto Lenz) teams up with his A-list band to deliver a double-barrel blend of deep-groove blues and raw rock power. A descendant of the late great Chicago gypsy swing guitarist Chick Johnston, Slim carries forward a rich musical lineage, forging a cutting-edge style that leaves audiences speechless.

​Ottomatic Slim has earned wide critical acclaim while touring night clubs and major festivals throughout the Northeastern U.S., Alaska, Canada, and Europe. Highlights include headlining the Carleton International Maximum Blues Festival in Quebec alongside legends like Eddie Shaw & The Wolfgang, as well as performing at iconic international venues such as the London Jazz Festival. Over the years, Slim has shared the stage and opened for numerous national legends, including John Lee Hooker, Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown, Lonnie Brooks, Son Seals, and Joanna Connor.

​Their self-titled album, Ottomatic Slim, has enjoyed widespread national and international airplay across commercial, internet, satellite, college, and National Public Radio (NPR) networks. As Alex Henderson of American Music Guide wrote, the release "...illustrates Ottomatic’s ability to combine blues, rock, soul, and funk."
