The Blues Specialists bring traditional Texas jump blues with a tinge of jazz to The Continental Club. Founded by Austin blues legends TD Bell and Erbie Bowser, the band has been active for decades and has performed at concerts, special events, private parties, weddings, and clubs across the US and abroad. The current lineup features original member and bandleader Mel Davis (vocals, harmonica, sax), Lawrence Bell (organ/bass), Rob Richardson (guitar), and Isaac Bratchett (drums). Their sound is rooted in the T-Bone Walker tradition.
