[Andy May’s] distinct style of writing and performing – with a mixture of warmth, sensitivity and good nature – bridges the gap between traditional and contemporary American music with purity and exuberance.

After moving to Massachusetts in 1970, Andy spent 17 years as a road musician and band leader, eventually working throughout the Northeast as a soloist and with his own bands, The Andy May – Texas Tabby Crabb Band and Andy May & Atlantic Express.
