David Mayfield Parade at Davis Art Center Jan. 20

The Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center welcomes back fan favorite David Mayfield Parade on Friday, Jan. 20 at 7:30 p.m.
The boundless energy and enthusiasm for performing music and engaging audiences are evident at every David Mayfield Parade concert.
David Mayfield grew up playing bass and touring with his family’s bluegrass band. As a teenager Mayfield 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 honed his skills and stage personality when he joined the bluegrass outfit Cadillac Sky, playing sold out shows with British folk revivalists Mumford and Sons. Additionally, Mayfield began crafting his own songs after inspiration from artists like Randy Newman and Simon & Garfunkel. Encouraged by his sister Jessica and friend Seth Avett to record his original material, Mayfield did just that, to much acclaim.
GA tickets are $45 in advance and $50 at the door. Doors open at 6:30 p.m., and the performance starts at 7:30 p.m. The Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center is located at 2301 First St. in Fort Myers River District. For more info, visit www.sbdac.com or call 239-333-1933.
