Top 10 Finalist in Vancouver's Shore 104 FM Sounds of Summer Songsearch.  'Lie to You' is getting regular airplay!  - Vancouver 2010 Olympic Performer

First:  there is her voice; with its ability to carry all the hurt and hope in the world home to a safe place in her ever hungry heart. Second: a prolific writer; she pens songs for breakfast, lunch and dinner; inviting the muse on every possible occasion. Third:  She plays guitar and mandolin with flair, and is at home performing solo or with a host of talented sidemen. Now:  Lindsay May living in scenic Vancouver, BC and crafting a collection of soulful songs that represent a rebirth of her creative self. The paint is still wet on this self portrait, so please stay tuned for an eventful new year for this talented west coast songbird.

Born and raised in Kelowna, BC, Lindsay May knew from a young age that she wanted to make music with her life, and found a that she had a knack for turning heartache into therapeutic verse and melodies that hang on long after the fire dies down. After an encouraging opening set for international folk singer James Keelaghan and a spot in Kelowna’s Woodstock Festival, she made the move out to Vancouver in 2004 to go head to head with some of the province’s best singer/songwriters. With a seemingly endless supply of energy and passion she performs regularly at festivals, house concerts and various venues around British Columbia as well as showcasing at the city’s best nightclubs.

Her debut full length album 'Bronze & Blue',  (2008) with its retro sounds showcased her ability to marry blues and rock while keeping you swaying on the dance floor until dawn. Recorded in Kelowna, with sound engineer Steve Todd,  (Sue Medley), and produced by Mike Ohman,  (Peter Mann and the Lonely),  this cd features a stellar cast of players including Kenny Aronoff,  (John Mellencamp, Rod Stewart, John Fogerty), and Pat Steward,  (Bryan Adams, the Odds),  on drums. 'Bronze and Blue' was nominated for three BC Interior Music Awards.

With a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and shelves overflowing with books from songwriting to the music industry, to self help in all its forms, Lindsay May is easily one of the artists most committed to self improvement in the music business today. Her mantra: “If you want to get better at something, you have to do it everyday,” – and she does.

A testament to all her hard work,  Lindsay has been selected to be a participant Songwriter’s Association of Canada‘s Red Cedar Songwriting Camp for five straight years straight, working with Bill Henderson and Roy Forbes to improve her craft while sharing hers with peers and new recruits at this popular workshop series.

Nominated for three BC Interior Music awards and winning one - Radio Indy’s Gold Artist award winner,  Lindsay May has had a busy year. Not to mention being featured in the Province for Hevy's D's Christmas promotion and being chosen to perform at Vancouver's 2010 Olympics. She was also selected for Vancouver's Shore FM's Sounds of Summer Song Search.  Stay tuned!
