CANCELLED
We are so sad to announce that, under the guidance of the WHO, CDC, and local authorities, our April 3 SongSpace show with the Early Mays has been cancelled, to help mitigate the spread of the novel coronavirus. For more details, please see the post SongSpace in the time of the Coronavirus.
We hope to reschedule the Mays for a date after the rate of infection of the coronavirus is brought under control! Please check back again soon for updates about a rescheduled Early Mays show.
Entwined, Entrancing Harmonies
With Appalachian-inspired harmonies, masterful songwriting, and a sweet old-time sound, The Early Mays bring a deep love of community music-making to regional and national stages. Most recently, the band appeared on NPR’s Mountain Stage, took home the blue ribbon in the Neo-Traditional Band Competition at Clifftop (The Appalachian String Band Music Festival), and hit the #1 position on the folk charts with their latest release, “Chase the Sun.” Emily Pinkerton, Ellen Gozion, and their closest collaborators Rachel Eddy, a prolific old-time performer, and Nicole Myers a genre-crossing cellist, carry their unique creative voicesand carefully honed craftwith them as they explore American traditional music.
…bursting with originality… The warmth emanating from every song and tune is proof that the collaboration is a labour of love. Deeply respected for their musicianship, [The Early Mays] have hit gold here–this is instrumentalism and harmony singing to make the heart soar. — Isabel Boothby | UK Old Time News
