Silence is the only friend that will never betray you

" Music is the greatest communication in the world. Even if people don't understand the language that you're singing in, they still know good music when they hear it. " - Lou Rawls

Legendary, international performer and songwriter Mighty Sam McClain has been bringing his own brand of Soul/Blues & Gospel /Funk to audiences for decades. This original music sends its message with a groove that won't quit. He is a solid, seasoned act -- no vices, no frills. This is the real thing!
In 1996 he turned to managing himself, founding McClain Management. His publishing company, Emily's Son Publishing has been licensed since 1993 when his original work appeared on "Give It Up To Love". McClain formed McClain Productions after successfully co-producing his CDs with Joe Harley. He has recorded on the Malaco, Bell, Amy, Audio-Quest, Telarc and Mighty Music labels.
“One More Bridge To Cross" made its debut on the Mighty Music label in February 2003. Since then he has recorded “Betcha Didn’t Know” (nominated by the Blues Music Association for Soul/Blues Album 2010_ and “Too Much Jesus (Not Enough Whiskey)”. They are unreleased at present and represent a new progressive sound from “The Mighty One”.
Recent recordings with Norwegian guitarist, Knut Reiersrud (“One Drop Is Plenty”) have earned him a Norwegian Grammy nomination, while his recording with Iranian folk vocalist, Mahsa Vahdat (“Scent of Reunion – Love Duets Across Civilizations”) has gotten great reviews internationally. Now, Sam and Mahsa have another CD to their credit, “A Deeper Tone of Longing – Love Duets Across Civilizations” was released in the US August 28, 2012. 
His own, “Too Much Jesus (Not Enough Whiskey)” followed on September 18, 2012 on his own label. It was nominated by The Blues Foundation as “Song and Album of 2013” and with the nomination as “Soul/Blues Male Artist of the Year”. He is currently finishing up his newest project, “Up from the Dust”.

"The Soul of America" is what he is called in Europe. He is, just as the lyrics he wrote, "I'm a singer, a man with a song .... and I've got a message for you...."
