May Erlewine -
Some people might call May Erlewine Michigans Songbird, but her songs have traveled far beyond her home state. One of the most prolific and passionate songwriters of her generation, Mays music has touched the hearts of people all over the world. Her words have held solace for weary hearts, offered a light in the darkness and held a lot of space for the pain and joy of being alive in these times. When she starts to sing, theres no way around it. Welcome to the moment, everyone.
Raised in a family rich with art and music, May began writing songs and playing them for the people at a very young age. Her journeys have taken her all over the world, from street corners to renowned stages, May has performed for all walks of life. In her travels Erlewine came to know the land and the pulse of the people. Her songs show a very real connection and concern with everyday folk.
May pulls from a wide variety of sounds and influences to create her unique musical landscape. Youll hear traditional folk roots, old time country swing, soul and rock and roll but mostly shes inspired by the hearts of the people and the one in her chest. This music is about feeling and its about telling lifes stories.
May Erlewine is no stranger to the recording studio and continues to write and record songs for the times. Her newest record, Mother Lion, produced by Tyler Duncan, some boast to be her best yet. Her catalog has substance and her creative vision is expansive. Her songs have been sung by national acts, including Joshua Davis, Rani Arbo and Daisy Mayhem, Sawyer Fredericks (NBC the Voice), Railroad Earth, Greensky Bluegrass, Lindsay Lou and the Flatbellys and the list goes on.
She can front the Motivations, her seven piece retro-groove band and ignite the dance floor, play a dynamic and profound set with her americana band, or play a solo songwriter set to a silent teary audience. Whether its a solo performance or with a team of exceptional musicians backing her, every show is truly magical.
