As our Song of the Week, we’ve chosen the poignant and heartfelt performance of “Face Your Life” by The David Mayfield Parade. This single was written by David Mayfield and his wife Jessie and was inspired by the poem If by Rudyard Kipling and the book 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson. In this live performance, you’ll hear David Mayfield on lead vocal and guitar, Keith Wallen on mandolin and harmony vocals, Ryan Wallen on resophonic guitar and harmony vocals, Steven Moore on banjo, and Graham Bell on bass.
