BIG CREEK SLIM IS A ROAD WALKER. BORN IN CENTRAL DENMARK IN 1984, MARC RUNE IS ONE OF THE MOST GENUINE BLUES ARTISTS TO EMERGE FROM EUROPE IN THE LAST DECADE. AT THE AGE OF TWENTY-FIVE, HE LEFT FOR THE UNITED STATES TO PLAY BLUES MUSIC AND LEARN. HIS MUSIC COULD BE HEARD ON STREET CORNERS, BAR STOOLS, SMALL CLUBS, AND SOME LESS THAN RECOMMENDABLE PLACES. AFTER HIS AMERICAN ADVENTURE, HE MOVED TO THE ISLAND OF FLORIANÓPOLIS IN BRAZIL, WHERE HE SETTLED PERMANENTLY. BIG CREEK SLIM IS AN ARTIST OF 1930's AND 40's ACOUSTIC COUNTRY BLUES. HIS GUITAR IS INSPIRED BY THE LEGENDS OF THE SOUTH BUT ALSO DRAWS FROM HIS CHICAGO ELECTRIC IDOLS, MUDDY WATERS AND HOWLIN' WOLF. IN SOME OF HIS ALBUMS ("KEEP MY BELLY FULL," "GOOD MILL BLUES," "BAD LUCK CHILD," OR "TWENTY TWENTY BLUES"), HE APPEARS SOLO WITH HIS GUITAR IN A BRILLIANT IMMERSION INTO THE INTIMACIES OF SON HOUSE, SKIP JAMES, AND CHARLIE PATTON. HE HAS ALSO RELEASED OTHER ALBUMS BACKED  BY AN ELECTRIC BAND ("HOPE FOR MY SOUL," "RAMBLING BIG CREEK," OR "JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND") IN WHICH HE DISSSECTS THE BLUES WITH TREPIDATING ADDITIVES. HIS MUSICAL CONNECTION WITH BRAZILIAN BASSIST ROBERTO MANTOVANI HAS BEEN REFLECTED IN TWO ALBUMS ("STONE IN MY HEART" AND "FIRST BORN"), PERHAPS HIS TWO MOST PERSONAL WORKS. IN “GOING TO GERMANY”, RECORDED LIVE, HE RECAPTURES THE ELECTRICITY AND TURNS HIS FOCUS TO CHICAGO BLUES WITH EXCEPTIONAL PERFORMANCES, GUITARS AS SOLID AS THEY ARE EMOTIVE AND A VOICE THAT TRANSPORTS YOU TO THE FEELING OF THE BLUES FROM THE BEST TIMES IN THE WINDY CITY. BIG CREEK SLIM IS A COMPLETE AND SPIRITUAL BLUES ARTIST, A LONELY HEART WITH THE BLUES IN HIS SOUL, A DANISH MAN WHO PLAYS AND SINGS THE BLUES WITH DEVOTION. IT'S ESSENTIAL TO KNOW HIM TO UNDERSTAND THE PROJECTION OF THIS MUSIC IN THE HANDS OF EUROPEAN MUSICIANS.
