Harvard Club of Washington, DC

Legendary Singer-Songwriter Doug "Slim" Stevens AB '72 ('75) in Concert - FREE

Doug "Slim" Stevens, “third-greatest singer-songwriter in the English language,” accompanied by the phenomenal J. Lima Foxtrot. The first 20 guests will receive signed copies of Slim’s original three-record vinyl album.

"Don’t Expect an Invitation From Him Every Forty Years!" by Caleb Stout

And he has become an accomplished troubador, called by at least one critic “the third best singer-songwriter in the English language.” (Stevens disputes the title, saying that he was recently knocked down a level by the author of that great country hit “I Don’t Want Your Body if Your Heart’s Not In It.”)

Often compared to his patron saint Bob Dylan forty years ago, the impassioned harmonies of Slim and Jessie now conjure up the Rolling Thunder days of Bob (who talked about the "green pastures of Harvard University" in his first album.)

His songs are shorter now, and the funky folk space rock genre he fashioned has mellowed. And his band is more pleasing to the eye. (He is accompanied now only by singer and lead guitar player Jessie Fenton from Stafford, Virginia via the Big Apple.)

Doug (“Slim” to the Cognoscenti) Stevens last invited Harvard people to a concert in 1975, and filled the Commons Room in Lehman Hall to rave reviews.
