The band has been in existence for 28 years and have performed in numerous concerts, special events, private parties, weddings, and clubs through out the US and abroad. The current makeup of the band includes original bandmember/bandleader Mel Davis (vocals, harmonica, sax), son of TD Bell Lawrence Bell (organ/bass), Rob Richardson (guitar), Isaac Bratchett (drums). The style of music is traditional Texas jump blues with a tinge of jazz. The roots of the music center around T-Bone Walker who influenced TD Bell and is cousin to Mel Davis. About Soul Man Sam Soul Man Sam began his singing career in Memphis, competing in competitions and singing in the church choir. He grew up in the same neighborhood as Otis Redding, Issac Hayes, B.B. King, Albert King and Al Green. He eventually landed a job singing with the Bar-Kays. Sam was offered a recording contract with Memphis’ famed Stax Records, a deal which fell through when Sam moved to Alaska to help his brother, whose wife suffered serious health problems. He started singing Rhythm & Blues again in 1999, formed a band, and began opening for the likes of James Brown, Buckwheat Zydeco, and Gladys Knight.
