The circle will continue until the last hearty soul peters out, the Matrix closes, or we all file out and adjourn to the nearest gin mill to continue."

"James May is an artist worthy of attention, spotlight, and praise...amazing."

— Cyrus Rhodes
president - Indie Music Digest

“The first thing I noticed about James’ songs is the stunning beauty of his melodies and chord movement. The more I listened, the more I came to appreciate the depth and vulnerability of his lyrics as well. James writes and sings with a rare and powerful sensitivity."

— Steve Meckfessel singer/songwriter www.stevemeckfessel.com

"Passionate songwriting steeped in light, love, loss and resolution. Lovely music."

— Laurie DesJardins - KVMR radio broadcaster www.kvmr.org

"James May’s songs weave their way into the heart, the bones, and the soul. The combination of potent lyric fused with rich melody is strong medicine from an artist who, with open arms, faces both the joy and the strife of our human journey with equal passion."

— Keith Greeninger singer/songwriter/producer www.keithgreeninger.com
