The Curtis Mayflower is an American rock band formed in Worcester, Massachusetts in 2013. The group consists of lead singer Craig Rawding, guitarist Pete Aleksi, bassist Jeremy Moses Curtis, keyboard player Brooks Milgate, and drummer Duncan Arsenault. The group has released one limited edition EP preceding their debut album "Everything Beautiful Is Under Attack", released on January 28, 2014. The Curtis Mayflower is known for its unique approach to the blues rock genre. The band performs atmospheric music mixed with more traditional rock music, soul music and Blues. The group recorded two concerts to be used as the soundtrack for the film American Mongrel to be released in late 2014[1]. Joining the group for these session was saxophonists Dana Colley of the band Morphine.


History

The band originated in Worcester, MA while playing a local bar's weekly music series[2]. All five band members have played together in various incarnations but it wasn't until 2012 that this lineup solidified and began playing together as a group. After a few shows playing old soul and blues, the group began writing original material. This led to the self released EP "Live at The Dive", recorded at the bar they formed at. In February of 2013 the band rented a farmhouse in Lamoine, ME and hired engineer Dave Westner to record their debut album. The music was recorded live in a room with little to no separation among the instruments and minimal overdubs. [3]

Before starting The Curtis Mayflower, Brooks Milgate, Duncan Arsenault and Jeremy Moses Curtis played together in The Howl[4] with The Fabulous Thunderbirds guitarist Troy Gonyea. While playing the The Howl, Curtis and Gonyea began touring with Booker T. Jones.
