Born and raised
only miles from New
York City, Greg Mayo
grew up in a musical
household. The son
of legendary musician
Bob Mayo (of
Peter Frampton, Hall
and Oates, Foreigner
and others), he’s had
it in his blood and
at his fingertips. He
studied jazz and studio
composition at The Hartt School of Music and
the Conservatory of Music at SUNY Purchase, and
he has been living and working in the New York music
scene for 15 years.
In addition to producing for and performing in
countless projects scattered across the musical
spectrum, Mayo plays guitar and sings in Brooklyn
THE FLORIDA OR 44 CHESTRA | 2019-2020
Sugar Company, a rock and roll band based in
New York. He also leads an old school soul band
appropriately called Greg Mayo Band singing and
playing piano. In the last year, along with creating
music for television, he’s produced records for
soul singer BSKi, hip hop group ItsTheReal, rock/
folk artist Robbie Gil, and kids music artist Suzi
Shelton.
Over the years, Mayo has cut his teeth alongside
some of the world’s best musicians. He had the opportunity
to tour the states and Norway in 2016 with
Grammy-nominated soul artist Bernhoft. In 2017 he
joined up with Jon Bon Jovi and performed in his
band, Kings of Suburbia, and his acoustic outfit Jon
Bon Jovi and Friends. He also recently began touring
with legendary jazz-rock band Blood Sweat and
Tears. Despite all that, Mayo is never happier than
when he’s playing Beatles songs with his friends.
Add an orchestra and he’s in heaven! He’s absolutely
honored to be a part of Revolution.
