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

This legendary bottle of 1982 Chateau Gruaud-Larose has outstanding reviews online.
-Stunning nose of licorice, dates, some spices, dates, figs, floral high notes, layered and detailed, refined, you can sit and smell this one for the whole evening. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, licorice, blackberries, anise, spices, dates, figs, rich tobacco notes, stunning bottle!
-One of the most powerful, massive wines of the vintage is the 1982 Gruaud Larose, a full-bodied, broad and concentrated effort redolent of ripe black fruits, loamy soil, smoked meats, leather, espresso roast and hints of cigar wrapper. Rich, layered and expansive, its deep core of ripe, fleshy fruit is framed by sweet, powdery tannins.
This could be yours for a special occasion very soon. Purchase your tickets now.
