About Alex Henley
As a newer addition to the Soul Man Sam Band, Alex Henley has become more present in Austin’s blues and soul scene. The band earned the Austin Music Award for Best Residency in 2026 for their Blue Monday residency at the legendary Antone’s – a testament to the group’s musicianship and authenticity. Performing alongside Soul Man Sam has helped Alex tremendously.
Outside of the SMS band, Alex’s own music is hard to put in one genre – and that’s intentional. His music often pulls from the pulse of funk, the depth of soul, the interplay of jazz, and the grit of blues/rock. The outcome is a style that feels lived-in and familiar, the product of years spent absorbing different musical styles and weaving it all into something of his own.
