Recently, I had the opportunity to experience the energetic sound of Charleston’s Soul Doctors, who rocked the house from first note to last. Guests absolutely charged the dance floor to groove to everything from Al Green classics to Delbert McClinton rockers to smooth, smooth Smokey Robinson soul-paragons, all familiar, all covers, but amazingly and consistently well-executed, due to the mighty vocals (and delightfully ostentatious cumberbund) of Steve Payne and the powerful, soulful, saxophone riffs of brother Doug Payne, who doubles as keyboard-player.
Complementary rhythm, tasty guitar licks, and smooth fills were provided by guitarist Tim Coll. Add all that to the finest rhythm section any band could dream of, with drummer Ammed Solomon and Steve Hill on bass, and you’ve got exactly what the doctor ordered for the quintessential R&B combo Rx.

Good Medicine: The Soul Doctors I have hired both nationally and regionally recognized bands since 1977. I’ve learned no matter how good a band’s promotional package seems, what you see and hear there, is not necessarily what you get.
This isn’t the case with the Soul Doctors, who I have hired no less than seven times in the same town for fundraisers and special events. What you see, what you hear, is what you get. And even better than you expect.
These are accomplished musicians , having played together for many years . They are comfortable in any venue and with a varied audience. It is rare to find a band that can capture the music and make it their own, as do the Soul Doctors.
Driving the band with solid lead vocals is Steve Payne, along with guitarist Tim Coll, bassist Steve Hill, drummer Ammed Solomon and on sax and keyboard, the multi-talented Doug Payne.
Packed venues and overflowing dance floors are hallmarks of the Soul Doctors. In my town, they are considered the “house band”.
If you are looking for a polished, professional group, you owe your audience The Soul Doctors.

“The entertainment for the fourth annual Ronald McDonald House McGala was one of the best ever! The members of the Soul Doctors were very professional to work with and their dance music/performance really set a terrific ‘party’ atmosphere that had our guests dancing the entire evening!”

Steve,
I just want to thank you for the superb job The Soul Doctors did for our wedding. Everyone is still raving about the band, and literally danced until they couldn’t dance anymore! Literally the band was as hot as the night, and it was hot! The time you spent with us before the wedding and learning our special song is really appreciated. We’ll never forget our reception and dancing the night away under the stars to the sounds of The Soul Doctors!

On August 26, 2006, a widower and a widow married each other with the help of 350 of their closest friends and The Soul Doctors. Outdoor wedding; Greenbrier County farm; giant tent; dance floor. For every song the dance floor was crammed with people. Fueled by the response of the crowd to classic soul music, the band had as good a time as we did. Our 30-something children were on the dance floor along with everyone our age who knew the words of every song. It was a great occasion, made more special by The Soul Doctors. It’s all about creating memories and this band does it.

The Soul Doctors played for a recent Daymark fund-raising event. The band’s appearance created a dramatic increase in attendance. They were professional, prompt, gave great attention to detail and it was a pleasure to work with them.
And their music . . . AWESOME. I highly recommend The Soul Doctors.

The Soul Doctors are the greatest! We ask them back year after year because our Christmas parties wouldn’t be the same without them. They keep the crowd entertained with tunes that everyone likes. They definitely get a thumbs up from all of us at Kingston Resources, Inc.
