Meet The Band
David S. Martell
David Martell – Vocals & Guitar
Hailing from Seattle, Washington, David Martell grew up with music in his bones. Some of his earliest memories are of lying on the floor with headphones on, listening to David Bowie's Space Oddity and scribbling down silly lyrics, not yet knowing how deeply music would shape his life. He picked up the guitar at 15 and never looked back.
A product of the '90s Seattle scene, David was immersed in the city's creative energy just before grunge exploded—leaving town right before record deals started getting handed out like candy. Though his heart has always belonged to the guitar, it's his vocal talent that tends to steal the spotlight.
His first serious project, Rumble House, was gaining traction when the band broke up, prompting a move to Phoenix, Arizona. There, he formed No Left Turn, which ran strong for several years before the usual band drama took its toll. Burned out, David stepped away from music altogether for a time.
But music has a way of pulling you back. He eventually joined 357, an original band he’s still a part of today, focused on recording and performing the songs they’ve written together. From there, he found his way into the cover band scene with Octane, rocking hard for several years before deciding he wanted more than just straight-ahead rock.
Henry Smith
Henry Smith - Lead Guitar
Born in the rainy Pacific Northwest, Henry Smith’s musical path started early, when a secondhand guitar and a worn-out VHS of Stevie Ray Vaughan’s Live at Austin City Limits changed everything. The blues became his compass, but his curiosity pushed him to explore rock, country, and pop along the way.
Henry isn’t the type to sit still—he’s taken lessons off and on, including time studying with the legendary Jerry Miller, but most of his growth came from trading licks with local players and learning by ear. Over the years, he’s played in a range of cover bands that shaped his sound: soulful, melodic, and always grounded in feel.
Music runs deep in Henry’s family—his mom sparked his love of songs, his dad tuned his ear for instruments, and his twin brother became his first jam partner. When he’s not on stage, he’s in his workshop building, wiring, and tweaking guitars in his endless search for the perfect tone.
Now settled in the Arizona desert, Henry brings that same blend of passion and precision to Rhymes with Dolores, chasing songs and tones that hit right in the heart.
Bob Rich III
Bob Rich III - Bass Guitar & Vocals
Bob (or Robert, when he’s in trouble) is a guitarist, bassist, and vocalist from Buffalo, NY, now causing a ruckus in Arizona. A lifelong Jimi Hendrix fan, Bob’s been chasing killer tone, pure soul, and just enough chaos to keep everyone on their toes. He’s also been known to wield guitars older than he is… and somehow make them sound even better.
Bob has toured all over North America with Madison Rising, taken the UK by storm with The Pillagers, and shared the stage with legends like Blues Traveler, Quiet Riot, Stryper, Tears for Fears, The Ramones, and Collective Soul. Whether it’s rocking a stadium or a dive bar, Bob brings riffs, grooves, and vocals that hit hard—and occasionally make your heart skip a beat.
In the studio, Bob’s versatility shines. He’s recorded with The Pillagers, Madison Rising, contributed to Music is Art Vol. 1, and laid down full-length albums with This is Now and Da’Loris. Whether he’s locking in a groove or stepping up to sing, he keeps the energy high and the vibes unpredictable.
Endorsed by Revo Guitar Straps, Bob treats his gear with the same love he treats his playing: with passion, precision, and just enough rock-and-roll chaos to keep things interesting.
Chris Reinhard
Chris “Rhino” Reinhard – Guitar &Vocals
Chris Reinhard—affectionately known as “Rhino”—cut his teeth in the gritty bar scene of Erie, Pennsylvania, where lake-effect snow and rust-belt vibes shaped his sound as much as his surroundings. Coming up in the early ’90s, Chris was steeped in classic rock, blues, and the alternative movement that reshaped modern guitar playing. His style is tight, soulful, and deeply rooted in rhythm—equal parts groove and grit.
Whether laying down rich chord beds or weaving in harmonics and subtle accents, Chris brings a raw authenticity to every performance. He’s collaborated with a range of regional acts over the years, earning a reputation as a grounded, intuitive player who always puts the music first.
Influenced by players like Malcolm Young, Mike Campbell, and Stone Gossard, Chris doesn’t chase solos or spotlight—he chases songs. Offstage, he’s also the band's go-to technical guru, keeping the live rig dialed in and making sure the gear runs smooth so the band can stay focused on the music.
When he’s not playing with Rhymes with Dolores, you’ll likely find him out on the water sailing, jamming with friends, or passing on guitar wisdom to the next generation of players.
