Celebrate Tuesday consists of band members Jimmy Smith, lead vocals and guitar, Daylon Mayfield, bass and vocals, Darrell Shipp, guitar and vocals, and Mark Smith, drums and vocals. They are known for their crazy stage antics and their ability to really get the crowd going. Their fans, otherwise known as the C.T. Mafia, are true fans and they love their boys like brothers. Celebrate Tuesday has performed on stage at the Warped Tour with some of the most famous bands in the United States, along with playing in various clubs and bars in the South and Central Texas, and the Southern California area. C.T. has recorded at the infamous Studio 880 in Oakland, CA with producer John Lucasey, or LuCrazy as they like to call him. These boys have had a sweet taste of that success wave and only thirst for more, with the love of performing for the C.T. Mafia on stage, they have no intention of growing up or slowing down.
Jimmy has been playing instruments since grade school and has played anything from the saxophone to electric guitar. He met Darrell and Daylon in the third grade and decided to start the band at about the age of thirteen. The boys then met Mark, the drummer, in the ninth grade and have been playing music ever since. Naturally hitting a few bumps in the road, Jimmy, Daylon, Darrell and Mark have stayed the original band members.
Celebrate Tuesdays influences include bands such as Green Day, Alkaline Trio, NOFX, and The Network.
