Mayo’s music blends elements of jazz, soul, and R&B, often characterized by his distinctive vocal phrasing and sophisticated harmonic arrangements. He frequently incorporates electric piano and keyboard as central instruments in his compositions and performances, showcasing both original works and reimagined covers. His style draws comparisons to artists like Stevie Wonder and D’Angelo.

The Bach Dancing & Dynamite Society is a renowned, intimate listening room established in 1975 by Ansel Adams and his wife Virginia. Originally conceived as a space for photographic workshops, it quickly evolved into a haven for live music, particularly jazz, blues, and acoustic genres. The venue is known for its exceptionally high-quality sound system – designed by Adams himself – and strict “no talking during performances” policy intended to foster focused attention on the musicians. Its capacity is limited to approximately 80-100 guests creating an immersive experience. The society continues to operate as a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting live musical performance.
