Nobody knew the blues quite like Adolphus Bell. When Music Maker founder Tim Duffy first me Adolphus he was going town to town scraping up gigs while living in his van. Adolphus was known for his raucous One Man band show and always kept the energy high and was loved around the world for his heartfelt show. His version of You Gotta Hurt Before You Heal oozes the sound of a road worn bluesman.
