Saturday: Matthew Mayfield @ Rumba

Posted on June 17, 2011 by | Comments Off on Saturday: Matthew Mayfield @ Rumba

Fans of Pete Yorn would be wise to check out Matthew Mayfield’s performance at Rumba Cafe on Saturday night. The Alabama singer-songwriter fronted Moses Mayfield (2002-2008) before embarking on a solo career that has yielded a couple of EPs and a full length, Now You’re Free, which contains 11-tracks of mid-America somber/soundtrack pop.

Snag four free tracks through NoiseTrade.com in exchange for your email address.

Saturday night’s show is a co-headling gig with Matt Duke. Tickets can be purchased online or at the door and should run you about $8.
