2 Slim Man & Chase Huna6:00 pm Smooth Jazz $www.ticketmaster.com cover  Slim Man & Chase HunaJune 2 @ 6:00 pm Slim Man won Best Jazz Vocalist in 2021 at the Coachella Music Awards. Fifth year in a row. Winner! Winner! Meatball dinner! The Slim Man LIVE at Vicky’s double CD won ALBUM OF THE YEAR at the Coachella Music Awards in 2021. And his new cookbook, Slim Man Cooks Volume 2, was just released in January 2022. So, how did Mr. Man get to this point?
