Thu 12/19 & Fri 12/20 @ 8PM
Kent/Akron native David Mayfield has built a significant national reputation in both bluegrass and indie rock. Like his sister Jessica Lea (who is also playing in town this week at the Beachland on Fri 12/20), he cut his teeth touring with his parents’ bluegrass band. Later he played with Jessica’s band, as well as the Avett Brothers and Mumford & Sons, a utility player with proficiency on guitar, bass and mandolin. Mayfield now juggles his own hybrid indie/Americana-style music with hardcore bluegrass, with his David Mayfield Parade and David Mayfield Bluegrass Parade (as well as solo performances and various collaborations).
He’ll be headed back to Peninisula’s G.A.R. Hall for a two-night stand with his David Mayfield Bluegrass Christmas where he’ll be joined by some musical friends and play some of his favorite tunes, bluegrass-style, some holiday favorites and some of his own originals as well
Doors open at 7:30pm; music starts at 8. Tickets are $17 in advance, $22 at the door.
