about

Somewhere on the border between old-time music and modern American songwriting, The Early Mays have built a band with harmonies that feel like home. It’s a partnership that has shared slow-burning, perfectly paired vocals for ten years—from NPR’s Mountain Stage to house concerts all over the mid-Atlantic.

"Crystal clear voices, stunning harmony lines... more straight-up beautiful music would be hard to find. " --Adam Hurt

"The Early Mays are exceptional storytellers, singers and musicians who craft their songs with the utmost care and attention; they’re a joy to listen to." -- Alex Gallacher, Folk Radio UK
