The Art of Resilience

Irvin Mayfield, born, raised, and living in New Orleans, is a two-time Grammy and Billboard award-winning artist, composer and producer.  His 25-record discography and published written works keynote more than 30 years of world-tours, recorded performances, and collaborations with distinguished artists such as Gordon Parks, Herman Leonard, Stevie Wonder, Bob Weir, Frank Ocean, Aaron Neville, Wynton Marsalis, and Trombone Shorty.

Whether “the little things” or “the big things,” all of us have things, including Irvin. At some point in our life, we experience something that feels like a gut punch, something that makes us wince and let out a sigh, roll our eyes, and maybe even lay down on the ground and replay over and over in our mind “how did I end up here?”

Through a multi-instrumental performance, prescriptive story, and immersive crowd participation, Irvin will take us through a musical journey that illustrates what he calls “the art of resilience” – a creative process that can help anyone find success in the face of life’s challenges
