Langhorne Slim is a young folk singer, born Sean Scolnick on August 20, 1980, based out of Brooklyn, New York. Originally hailing from Langhorne, Pennsylvania, he graduated from the Conservatory of Music at Purchase College, part of the SUNY system.

He began to gain public notice through several years of touring with the Trachtenburg Family Slideshow Players and an appearance at the Bonnaroo Music Festival. His song Electric Love Letter was recently number 5 on the Rolling Stone editor's top ten picks. The song was also in the movie Waitress. He has recently been seen on tours with Cake, The Avett Brothers, Murder By Death, Jeffrey Lewis, The Violent Femmes, Lucero, and Rocky Votolato.

In 2006, Langhorne Slim and the War Eagles signed to V2 Records. For one EP (Engine EP, 2006) and an LP due out in early 2007. However, after V2 folded on the deal regarding the highly anticipated release, the band signed to Kemado Records, and have selected a release date of April 29th, 2008 for the self-titled, full-length LP.

A Langhorne Slim Daytrotter Session was released on October 9, 2006.

Langhorne Slim's band the War Eagles consists of Paul Defiglia on bass and Malachi DeLorenzo on drums.
