MIGHTY SAM MCCLAIN booking - Blues Music Artists - Corporate Entertainment Booking

Mighty Sam McClain

Mighty Sam McClain was born on the northern edge of the Bible Belt in Monroe, Louisiana, in 1943. At the age of five, he began singing with his mother's Gospel Group and he knew that singing was his early mission. He left home when he was thirteen to escape an abusive step-father and followed local R&B guitarist Little Melvin Underwood through the Chitlin Circuit, eventually becoming his lead vocalist.

Mighty Sam McClain - booking information Mighty Sam McClain, blues artist - booking information While he was singing at the 506 club in Pensacola, Florida, he was introduced to Producer/DJ Papa Don Shroeder and in 1966, Sam recorded Patsy Cline's hit "Sweet Dreams." Several Music Shoals sessions produced singles, "Fannie Mae" and "In the Same Old Way." For fifteen years, first in Nashville, then in New Orleans, Mighty Sam McClain worked menial jobs, was homeless at times and forced to sell his plasma to survive. From the cotton fields to the Apollo Theatre, to the park bench. All the while, living the songs that would jump start his career in the mid 1980's.

Several New Orleans luminaries helped Sam in his lowest times – the Neville Brothers, Carlo Ditta, and A.J. Loria, Orleans Records (notably "Live in Japan" with legendary guitarist, Wayne Bennet).

By the early 1990's, Mighty Sam McClain networked to New England by way of his association with the "Hubert Sumlin's Blues Party" project (Produced by Hammond Scott on Black Top) involving Boston-based musicians, including Ronnie Earl. These friends provided encouragement and collaborations which led to Audioquests interest and releases, "Give It Up To Love," "Keep on Movin'" and "Sledgehammer Soul & Down Home Blues."

Mighty Sam McClain is in control of his life and career. It's full steam ahead for this great vocalist! "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...."
