ABOUT THE ARTIST
Phenix City-based Skyler Saufley, 28, was inducted into the Alabama Blues Hall of Fame earlier this year. Saufley says he was first introduced to the blues at the age of 12. He grew up in a household where music wasn’t played often, so it wasn’t until a childhood friend introduced him to Elvis Presley that he had his first taste.
“I thought that was a new thing, I had never heard of him,” Saufley says. “And so, I thought, ‘I’m gonna get a guitar. I want to learn how to play. I want to do that.’” After being introduced to Presley, whose sound was heavily influenced by blues musicians, it was only a short time before Saufley found out about Muddy Waters and other classic blues artists. Saufley heard a few bars of Waters’ “Got My Mojo Working,” and felt immediately called to play the blues. He added his band prefers to perform a swing-y, upbeat style of blues with songs mainly from the 1940s and ‘50s.
According to the singer, the band’s sets are often filled with stunts. Sometimes Saufley will stand on a barstool and play the guitar behind his head, other times the upright bass player will spin his instrument on stage. As the band performs blues tunes from legends like T-Bone Walker, Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf, Saufley sometimes plays the piano with his foot.
