A Mayfield Affair – Oil & Canvas

on December 25, 2012 Live Performance, VIDEO and Tags: , with 0 comments

Here’s the video that started it all, way back in 2012. At the time,  I was playing drums in a foot-stompin’ alt-bluegrass band called A Mayfield Affair when I decided to make a video for them. It was right before Christmas when we shot it at a church near Mount Soledad. Ben Bartel & Ryan Woolsey played guitar & sang while Ben Barnes (normally the bass player) sat in on cajon & added some harmonies as well. I remember editing this video at my parents’ house in Virginia, exporting the final version late on Christmas eve 2012.

The band went on to shorten the name to Mayfield and now Ben Bartel performs his own tunes as Ben Allen.

Insider Tip: You can hear me on drums on a few tracks from their last EP, Things We Used to Feel, released in 2015.
