1 Fillmore Slim at Eli’s Mile High Club: An iconic Bay Area musician and personality is returning this weekend to a famous East Bay venue that played a key role in his career. Clarence Sims, aka Fillmore Slim, was a New Orleans-born emerging blues singer and guitarist in the 1960s when he happened into a lucrative career opportunity in the managerial side of prostitution, eventually gaining fame as the “gentleman pimp” known for his flamboyant presence in San Francisco’s Fillmore district. In the 1980s, Slim returned to music and made Eli’s, the venerable North Oakland blues joint, his home base and recorded his first blues album there. On Friday and Saturday, Slim performs at Eli’s with sax man Bobbie Webb, his longtime pal and collaborator. Also on the bill are Ronnie Stewart and the West Coast Blues Society Caravan of Allstars Band and other Bay Area blues mainstays. As for Eli’s, the joint has been up and down in recent years but is reportedly under new ownership and being prepped to return as a regular source for live blues. Let’s hope so.
