Since the beginning, Sam has always been quick to point out he isn't the only person on stage. He's had some of the greats on stage with him including the Steel Hall of Famer, Jim Grabowske who played with Sam for almost two years. Today, the group has a new name, "Sam Bentley and His Honky-Tonk Band". The band is made up of Wesley Downey on bass, Jerry Sharp on drums, Allen Kentfield on pedal-steel, and Olin Melton on lead guitar and vocals.....all are "cream of the crop" with long musical resumes. Sam feels honored to be able to call them his friends as well as his band.
The story continues. Sam and The Honky-Tonk Band are going to keep performing good country music as along as they can. They're earning new fans every time they play and are working on a live CD recorded at a local club. They just keep going on......and on.....and on.....
