History
The band originated in Worcester, MA while playing at a local bar's weekly music series. 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 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. Before starting The Curtis Mayflower, Brooks Milgate, Duncan Arsenault and Jeremy Moses Curtis played together in The Howl with The Fabulous Thunderbirds guitarist Troy Gonyea. While playing the The Howl, Curtis and Gonyea began touring with Booker T. Jones. Curtis also toured internationally as the bassist for Howie Day and has also performed with Levon Helm and Ringo Starr. Duncan Arsenault played drums with Jim Carroll for a series of performances as The Catholic Boys. He has also performed with singer Mark Burgess from The Chameleons UK and is the drummer for The Curtain Society. Craig Rawding also sings in the duo The Marshall Pass with Duncan Arsenault.
