Reviews

FOR LIVE PERFORMANCE:

"Lindsay May's larger then life stage presence allows her total command of the stage and her audience. Her vocal range takes you down roads, peaks, and valley's, and to places you've never been before.

- Fred La Rose, Booking Agent LB's, St Alberta, AB and Musician

FOR 'SHIMMER':

"May doesn’t miss a single detail on this 10-track release. Every guitar slide, breathy harmony and note is Nashville-quality which is exactly where her music is geared. Already lauded by folkies in the know, it’s time that some DJs started showing some love to songs such as the “party all night” vibe of “Spinning 45s” and the tour de force of “Lie to You” (which gets both a band and solo acoustic treatment to clearly note how strong the writing is). That she’s blessed with killer pipes which can go all torch singer on a tune such as “Stick Around,” only to slide into almost ’70s Laurel Canyon country/rock balladry on “It Ain’t Easy . . . Being Me,” is one more bit of icing on the cake. Guess that’s why she does everything from solo gigs to the annual Motown Meltdown charity gig at the Commodore Ballroom (March 31) with such ease. For fans of everyone from Kathleen Edwards to Linda Ronstadt and all points in between."

Lie to You Video

Lindsay May performed on a Via Rail Train in June 2011 as part of her tour across Canada en route to her showcase at Toronto's North by Northeast Music Conference. Photo's of her Via Rail Train Tour trip across Canada are the backdrop to her video for her award winning song 'Lie to You'.

March Tour Video

The March 2012 tour in support of Lindsay's new album 'Shimmer' was fantastic! The reviews are starting to roll in and they are lovely. Oh, and one speeding ticket, a flat tire and a key fob that stopped functioning. Ah well. However, the venues asked Lindsay back and included a SOLD OUT house concert in Kelowna backed up by Jane Eamon. That's all you can ever ask for.

Thanks for all your support. Here's a little video of the adventures... Audience warning: warm clothes and snow tires are advised :)
