Live Music – Bishop Mayfield & Friends

Bishop Mayfield was born in N.Y.C and has been singing since the age of 5. He has been a fixture up and down California & Canada since 1966. Bishop is currently appearing with noted guitarist & songwriter Dave Storie in the powerfully dynamic “Bishop Mayfield & Friends Band” (O& Friendsriginal, R&B, Funk, Blues-Rock, Fusion) based in Southern Oregon.

Dave has a long and rich history with his music, at a very young age his mother would sneak him into country & western “Honky Tonks” to hear the local “pickers” so he could see and hear how the country guys picked, also sharing her record collection of Johnny Cash, Buck Owens, Elvis & Ray Charles.

David is a very talented and skilled drummer who has been performing with a variety of different bands in many venues here in The Rogue Valley over the years. These venues includes: The Britt Festival, The Jackson County Fair, Battle of The Bones, & The Oregon Wine Experience to name a few.

Mike was born and raised in Oakland, CA, where he started playing cello in 3^rd grade, switching to stand up bass in 6^th grade.  Playing in school orchestras gave way to bands in garages and at public events after getting his first bass guitar.
