About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

MAYES2 is the husband and wife duo of Frank and Cindy Mayes, two veterans of the New Orleans music scene since 1985. Like the rich gumbo for which New Orleans is known, MAYES2 mixes their sounds (flutes, clarinet, saxophones, piano & vocal) and styles (New Orleans jazz, original, classical, R&B, country & blues) to form a multi- "tastual" musical experience! In August 2009, MAYES2 released their first CD as a duo, after having performed together for more than 30 years at such venues as the N.O. Jazz Fest, French Quarter Fest, clubs, hotels, parties, conventions, fund raisers, weddings, festivals, carnival balls, even the Ringling Brothers/ Barnum & Bailey Circus! Appropriately named "Finally! (Have Horns, Will Blow)", this CD was created to create awareness of New Orleans unique musical culture. MAYES2 will create a unique musical experience for your special function. Laissez Les Bon Temps Roule (Let the good times roll)!

Review by Sammi K.

Wedding CeremonyReviewed on May 30, 2014From New Orleans, LA

I couldn't have been happier with Frank and Cindy! They were friendly, professional, and so very talented! They even learned and played the Beatles "All you need is love" for us to exit to, and of course did an amazing job at it! I would work with only them if I ever came back and needed musical talent, they were a dream to work with! All of our guests made great comments as to how good they were, thank you guys so much for making our wedding day as picture perfect as can be!

ConventionReviewed on April 30, 2012From New Orleans, LA

A versatile and talented duo with good variety of music. And they knew to keep the volume reasonable during our corporate event so that people could still network during the evening.

ConventionReviewed on March 8, 2013From New Orleans, LA

We hired Mayes2 for our closing dinner of a business conference. They were very versatile with the ability to play multiple instruments and sing a great variety of music. They also embodied the theme of New Orleans where our conference was held. They kept the volume just right for our setting as the people also like to network with their suppliers and customers. They were very professional and had a good understanding of what was needed for this type of event. I would not hesitate recommending them.
