MARCH TOUR WRAP-UP
Home. My March tour was fantastic and I'm now thoroughly happy and tired. The reviews are starting to roll in and they are lovely. Oh, and one speeding ticket. And... the venues I toured in asked me back. That's all you can ever ask for.
Thanks for all your support. Here's a little video of my adventures...
The song that started it all...
The fun, fun one!
By far, a huge request

FIRST REVIEW BY THE VANCOUVER PROVINCE:
http://blogs.theprovince.com/2012/03/06/lindsay-may-shimmer-lindsaymay-com/
Recorded over the past six months with co-producer Mark Gordon at Nimbus School of the Recording Arts, Vancouver singer-songwriter 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.
Grade: A-

CD Release at Joe's Apartment Thursday March 8th, 2012
New Video of my song 'Nashville', I made it with my iPhone during my second visit to Nashville last year - after my VIA Rail Train Tour across Canada! See if you can recognize all the songwriting hot spots!
New Blog Post's, updated weekly.
Alt-Country singer-songwriter Lindsay May is set to release her new album, on March 8, 2012 at Joe's Apartment (bar & live music venue), downtown Vancouver with subsequent tour dates in select cities. The new album 'Shimmer' is the first of two albums she recorded in 2011 at Vancouver's Nimbus School of Recording Arts. Lindsay May co-produced this album with Mark Gordon and Cody Taylor engineering.
Since being a Top 10 finalist in Vancouver's Shore 104.3's Songsearch and a 2010 Olympic performer, Lindsay has been busy with lots of other live shows. Harmony Arts Festival and Motown Meltdown at Vancouver's legendary Commodore Ballroom to name a few.
She was also nominated as a regional songwriting finalist for Canada in the New Mountain stage songwriting contest and was runner up in the Vancouver Folk Festival's 'Pickin' a Folk Star' Ukelele Song Contest.
We describe Lindsay May's new music as:
Amber etched alt-country by a guitar and mandolin wielding songstress who's silken vocals would sip tea next to Bonnie Raitt, kd lang and Roseanne Cash.
