The power of crowd-sourcing has become quite the powerful phenomenon in the music world, helping bands find additional funds to record, market, promote and tour around a new release. Last fall The David Mayfield Parade reached out to their fanbase via a Kickstarter campaign to assist in funding their sophomore studio effort. The band offered a variety of perks for donations of as little as $10 all the way to $5,000, exceeding their initial goal of $18,000 by over $25,000. On April 1, the country-infused folk act will release the Good Man Down, which was recorded at two legendary Nashville studios – RCA B and The Quonset Hut – and features guest appearances from Dierks Bentley, Seth Avett and Jessica Lea Mayfield.
Mayfield & Co. have channeled the theatrics of their must-see live show into the music video for the album’s lead single Human Cannonball, presenting a beautifully-shot, seamless, one-take mini-musical.
The David Mayfield Parade will head out for a lengthy U.S. tour, that kicks off with a gig at the Cherokee Casino in Fort Gibson, OK on March 22.

A truly incredible video from an incredible artist and band. Like Jeffrey said though, you HAVE to see them live to really understand!
