The Slates FamilyBand "Down Home Music served up Family Style". The site is for friends of the band, to keep you informed about our where-abouts and upcoming gigs. The Slates Family Band is comprised of Ruth & Dave Slates, Carla and Phil Slates, and Emily Clevenger, plus sometimes the occasional friend. We play "Americana music" which pretty much gives us freedom to play the tunes we like, from genres like folk, country, celtic/irish, pop, and rock. Stop by and say "hi"! Be sure to check the Calendar Area for upcoming performance dates for the band.
