Holt formed his own outfit, Lil’ Slim and The Back Alley Blues Band, and continued learning his craft at playing the blues.

Holt became a Teardrop himself in January 2013 and toured with his father that January.

Shawn Holt commenced his professional career when he was aged 17, touring alongside his father Magic Slim and his uncle Nick Holt, as part of the previous version of the Teardrops. Following that tour, Holt formed his own outfit, Lil' Slim and The Back Alley Blues Band, and continued learning his craft at playing the blues. Holt became a Teardrop himself in January 2013 and toured with his father that January. His album "Daddy Told Me" reached number one on the Living Blues blues radio chart in October 2013. Pierre Lacocque of Mississippi Heat noted, upon hearing the album, that Holt "only uses a thumb pick for his guitar, with no special effects, and straight into his amplifier. It is indeed a guitar style that is reminiscent of his father's". This is a General Admission show. Doors will open 1 hour before showtime. $25 Advance; $30 Door
