Todd Mayo, the visionary behind The Caverns, a celebrated music haven nestled in Tennessee’s heartland, has shared his life story in a captivating memoir.

Caveman Chronicles is currently available on Amazon in ebook, audiobook and paperback formats.

The book charts Mayo’s odyssey from troubled youth to entrepreneur, all in a richly musical atmosphere.

With candor, humor and self-revelation, Mayo reflects on his idyllic childhood summers, his burned-out adolescent years and his transformative passage into fatherhood. Along the way, he gathers spiritual breadcrumbs that would guide him along his journey. As a caregiver for loved ones with both physical and mental illnesses, Mayo would find grounding and humility. As a world traveler, music lover and reader, he would find myths and magical realism, inspiring him toward imaginative pursuits.

“A beautiful chaos of a story that leads to a wholesome, profound read,” Manhattan Book Review said regarding Caveman Chronicles.

Despite heartbreak and setbacks—divorce, failure, scams and scandal—Mayo returns always to grace and wonderment through thickets and brambles of doubt. Through twists and turns, he emerges where he was always destined to be: in a magic cave of his own making.

“Necessity and fatherhood help a longtime gambler strike music gold,” according to Kirkus Reviews. “Mayo writes with tremendous energy and Southern wit, painting a colorful portrait of his picaresque rise to success.”
