SAM MAYFIELD

Performs with entire group for Blues at the Vineyard

Saturday, August 8th, 6pm to 10pm Balistreri Vineyards Denver presents Blues at the Vineyard

Sam Mayfield Story By Jerry Roys of Colorado Locals & Legends
 

From the "Chitlin Circuit to the Grammys," Colorado blues guitarist Sam Mayfield,  has played guitar in many a venue while leading his own band and as King Solomon Burke’s musical director.

The Pauper and The King
King Solomon Burke
wrote 32 singles, including six top-ten R&B hits and four songs which made the top 40 in the pop charts. Burke is best known for his song, "Got to Get You Off of My Mind," and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall in 2001. Mayfield started working for the musical legend in 1973 after his band backed Burke at Margies Lounge in Denver.

"Because he was late we didn’t get a chance to rehearse," Sam says. "He was impressed that we knew all his music, of course we grew up on his music. After that I started playing with him full time."

Mayfield was born in Denver and raised in the Curtis Park area. He started playing guitar in 1957, when he was seven years old. His first instrument was the saxophone, which he played in school.

"I couldn’t feel the horn the way I could play the guitar," Sam said. "I knew from the time I was seven what I wanted to do for the rest of my life."

Mayfield grew up around music. . . .
