Big Slick, is a Houston based Rock group and as such the band plays live all around the Houston Tx and Kemah area, as well as performing at private parties and special events. Though the Big Slick band has been around for about 15 years, the present band line-up has been performing as Big Slick for almost 10 years.

Big Slick focuses on playing something for everyone. We cover and play mostly 70s and 80s classic rock, dance tunes and fun rock from  A to Z, Aerosmith to Led Zepplin and in between and of course being from Texas, we throw in a few classic country tunes too.

Jim Dippel, bassist, lead and backing vocals: Jim has always had a love of music and began his music adventure in Jr high and High school, playing tenor sax in the school’s Marching Band, Symphonic band and Jazz band.

Military service and career obligations then put a hold on his music progress but with the help of some friends Jim was able to self learn the guitar and began playing in several small groups as a rhythm guitarist. About 20 years ago Jim met Ken Spoletti, now the lead guitarist for Big Slick and when the former group Ken was playing in, needed a bass player, Jim bought a Fender P bass, joined the group and has been playing bass ever since! Jim grew up in the late 60s and early 70s and as such his musical preferences and background has been mostly shaped by those great Rock and Roll legends, artists and groups of the time, Eagles, Chicago, SRV, Led Zepplin, Aerosmith, The Beatles, etc but it’s also been shaped by his love for country music through such artists as George Strait, Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Alan Jackson and others.

Jim has been performing with Big Slick for almost 10 years but has also performed with many other Rock and Country bands around the Houston Tx area. Jim’s other love and passion is flying and usually if he’s not playing bass for Big Slick or Rock Hill Baptist Church, he’s at the airport flying.

Alan’s musical influences were mainly through southern rock but include Rock of other mainstream groups from the 70’s to current rock. Played in 80’s heavy metal cover band-lead singer, in early 2000’s more of hard rock/alternative rock cover band, lead singer (Constant Buzz). Alan likes to engage the audience during performances and will often invite someone up from the crowd to either sing along or take the lead!

 Ray Johnson: backing vocals and guitarist, co-founder of the group Big Slick. Inspired by the Beatles, Ray began playing guitar in early teens.  Frustrated by the inability to sound like the Beatles, Ray gave up guitar in early teens.  But couldn’t stay away. Ray was also heavily influenced by groups such as The Rolling Stones, CCR, Cream, ZZ Top, SRV.  Right around Y2K Ray discovered Mars Music’s “Weekend Warrior” program, which hooked him up with a bunch of musicians of equal enthusiasm and talent.  That led to several attempts at fledgling bands.

In 2006, a bandmate and Ray formed Big Slick with the vision to perform authentic covers of classic and alternative rock.  Big Slick has morphed over the years, but the band continues belting out some of the best and most authentic classic rock in Houston.
