If you are into the Americana/roots music scene, you probably know David and Valerie Mayfield’s kids. Son David Ray Mafield leads the David Mayfield Parade. Daughter Jessica Lea Mayfield has two acclaimed albums under the belt at age 23.
If you’re a little deeper into their music, you probably know that both of the Kent-based siblings began their professional music careers playing with their parents in a touring bluegrass band called One Way Rider.
The parents now perform as a duet, proudly billing themselves as “The Parents of David Ray Mayfield of The David Mayfield Parade & Jessica Lea Mayfield.” Those who like their kids’ music should be curious to hear their own and see where all that talent came from.
You can do so at the Beachland Tavern where they’ll be performing with another parent of notable roots-rock spawn: Jim Avett, father of Scott and Seth Avett of North Caroline’s Avett Brothers. The kids have toured together in the past, so it’s all one big happy family.
Old-timey band the Hiram Rapids Stumblers, out of Hiram Ohio, opens.
Tickets are $10.
