PK Mayo is a musician from northern Minnesota who is equally known for his guitar playing, his soulful voice and his song wrting. He's racked up a shelf of awards, including induction into both the Minnesota Blues Hall of Fame and the Minnesota Rock & Country Hall of Fame. His song, Arms of the Blues, won him a Minnesota Music Award for best blues recording. PK's performances are an aural quilt of Americana roots, blues, rock, folk and R&B often featuring his signature slide on a variety of guitars, electric and acoustic, including resonators and an electric Mando-guitar. 

From an early age, when he was known as Paul Kennedy Mayasich, he started gigging around his hometown of Eveleth, playing in country, polka and rock cover bands. He moved to Minneapolis and sought the tutoring of seasoned R&B, soul, jazz and blues musicians. After a fair amount of jamming he fell into local bands and stepped out to front his own. He's traveled the world playing festivals, theaters, clubs, concert halls and entertaining audiences from Greece to Belgium, from New York to San Francisco and all points in between. 

PK Mayo performs 200+ shows a year including solo shows, occasional duos and trios and with his band.
