Watermelon Slim & The Workers receive 6 Blues Music Award nominations! The 28th Blues Music Awards was May 10, 2007 at the Cook Convention Center in downtown Memphis.

Bill Homans, a.k.a "Watermelon Slim", has a storied past from which he draws experience and fodder for the fourteen tracks on the new Wheel Man CD. The record is Slim's third in four years and his debut release for Toronto-based NorthernBlues Records, where it's the latest in a string of critically acclaimed projects by artists such as Otis Taylor, David Jacobs-Strain, Janiva Magness and others. Despite playing his first paid gig at 18 and spending more than 30 plus years as a musician, it was only recently Bill 'Watermelon Slim' Homans manifested his life pursuit.

Formation Date: January 01, 2002
Record Label: NorthernBlues Music
Label Type: Independent
Band Members: Watermelon Slim, Cliff Belcher, Ronnie Mack, Michael Newbery
