music monday: matthew mayfield

Whoa. That is a lot of m's. It's a lot of awesome, too. Early on in our dating relationship--and prior to it, actually--Tyler and I sent each other mix cds via snail mail. We learned a lot about each other, and about our shared musical tastes. One of the artists we had in common was Matthew Mayfield. He's not super well-known, so it was a pleasant surprise to both of us.

We recently went to our first concert together, and he was one of the opening acts. He's super talented, super nice, and his voice sounds like he's been smoking and drinking whiskey for about 25 years. We're big fans. Here are a couple of our favorite songs:

"Fire Escape"

"Grow Old with You"
