As a station bard, corner pub entertainer and activist, Tex Brasket, a native Texan, has already sung his way out of the anonymity of homelessness and into the hearts of countless people beyond the local "gutter celebrities" of Berlin.
With songs of hope in supposedly hopeless situations, songs about drug addiction, violence, mental illness, social injustice and poverty, trouble with the law, prostitution and, of course, again and again about love, the most dangerous drug of all, as he says.
When SLIME's voice is accompanied by his peculiar guitar style, telling his lively and highly emotional stories with his distinctive voice, you immediately hear and feel: someone is singing about REAL life!
So it's no wonder that Brasket's readings from his own book "Dreck & Glitzer" are just as intense an experience as the unique concerts he plays.
His debut album is a story of the streets and of light in dark places. Drugs, homelessness and the power of music - a special life story.
The evenings on which Tex Brasket both sings and reads are unique happenings. It's not a show, it's an experience that becomes visible and tangible. A very special experience of music and words!
