If you’ve seen David Mayfield perform with The Avett Brothers, Mumford & Sons, or 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! With eclectic, cinematic songs that stir up images of the old West and urban cityscapes, David's new release, "Good Man Down," feels like a game changer for a singer-songwriter, band leader, and Grammy nominated producer who stepped out of the sideman shadows with his 2011 solo debut “The Parade.” He likens “Good Man Down” to “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” Like “Raiders of the Lost Ark,” his first album was lighthearted and fun with nods to the past. His second is darker, creepier, more bizarre and outrageous. With a successful crowdfunding campaign raising expectations, David felt it was time to take chances musically and delve into more adventurous production while tapping into his bluegrass roots. David's live shows are lively and sometimes comical. He 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. 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 coming back again and again.
