Crawford "HOSS" Mayfield 
Band Leader / Lead singer / Rythm Guitar  - Katy TX

Started Silverado in the spring of 1997, grew up listening to his mother play the Piano in church. Singing was a big part of his childhood especially gospel tunes. His father however was a BIG Johnny Cash fan and Hoss gravitated toward that type of music. Growing up in "East Texas", in the late 70's Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson, Mo Bandy, and the Oak Ridge Boys filled his 8 track with the sounds he loved. Later while a student at Texas A&M George Strait, David Allen Coe, were on his Cassettes, and later Clint Black and Garth Brooks CD's started to influence his style. Now with the advent of "TEXAS COUNTRY" Roger Creager, Charlie Robison, and Robert Earl Keen seem to fill his I POD.
