David Mayfield Parade
If you've seen David Mayfield perform with The Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, Jessica Lea Mayfield, or at Bonnaroo, you've caught the charisma, the heart, and the comedy, and it's likely you'll come back for more. This singer-songwriter, band leader, and Grammy-nominated producer stepped out of the sideman shadows with his 2011 album "The David Mayfield Parade"; his follow-up "Good Man Down" was self-released and funded with a successful Kickstarter campaign that more than doubled its initial goal. On the heels of that success, Mayfield has partnered with Compass Records, a label that Playboy Magazine calls "Nashville's hippest alternative label".
David Mayfield grew up playing bass and touring with his family's bluegrass band. As a teenager, he established himself as a hot picker, collecting national awards for his dexterity on guitar and mandolin. His knack for colorful performances was evident as a backing player in his sister Jessica Lea Mayfield's band, including their appearance on "The Late Show with David Letterman." He oozes personality on stage - a trait that makes him a natural frontman. He took his skills and personality to the bluegrass outfit Cadillac Sky, playing sold-out shows with British folk revivalists Mumford and Sons. Around then, Mayfield began writing songs after hearing artists like Randy Newman and Simon & Garfunkel. Encouraged by his sister Jessica & friend Seth Avett to record his original material, Mayfield did just that, to much acclaim. Since that time, he has toured almost non-stop. Conscious of not just being a musician, but an entertainer - something his father instilled in him in the family band - he certainly makes an impression live, but it's the strength of his songwriting and musicianship, combined with that charm and personality, that keep audiences consistently lining up to join the parade.
