“Yeah, I was lucky that a contestant on “The Voice” who ended up winning grew up with my music and sang “Shine On” on the show for his mom and it was one of the first times that original music that wasn't in their catalog was allowed on the show. So it was kind of a cool independent music victory. In the big TV world. Yeah, it's the music industry as it was. It's really no longer very functional and it there, you know, streaming now and everything there needs to be a change and it seems like people are just kind of holding on to that old model and if you're doing that, it's not really serving you or the artist at all. So, it's an interesting time to be in the music industry; there's a lot of freedom and excitement and creativity in being a DIY musician that wasn't there before but then it's also harder than ever to make a living because streaming has kind of made things very, very interesting in the financial model of putting out a record. So, it's a lot of fun, though, it's really freeing to be able to record something at home and put it up online and anyone all over the world can hear it within a couple of weeks, that's pretty, pretty amazing; you know? Over the years, I’ve been offered a lot of advice and I’m lucky that I’ve had a lot of mentors that have guided me well in trusting the creative process and the industry. We all need to make a living and there is a place for business in the creative world but not at the sacrifice of the creative because without the creative you have nothing; right? So, when the industry tries to crush and control the creative energy, usually what ends up happening is flat art and things kind of don't land the way they thought and that's why I think a lot of artists have hit albums at their first record and then the industry tries to shape them and they lose their spark and their passion; then it's just not inspired art anymore. and no matter how much promotion you put behind it, how much money you put behind things like people, humans relate to passion, to actual passion. So, I think it doesn't really end up panning out very well. I’ve had people say things to me and give me advice and tell me what I should do and once in a while I was kind of lead astray by those ideas but a lot of the time I was lucky enough to have support of my community to follow my own creativity and I feel really lucky. I mean, it’s fun and it's hard work too. I don't need to paint it like it has to. Just be fun but just to be able to work in a way that is inspiring and to work with other people who really care and have a level of integrity in what we're doing; it just feels so great. So yeah, I definitely strive for that and can't imagine it any other way at this point."
Erlewine mentioned “Mentors” who have guided her over the years, mentors who have had success in their careers but; how does one measure success in an industry as tough as music or entertainment?
“Well, I have these friends,” she continued, “Who have been making music for a really long-time and they are a folk duo, Mike and Ruthie. I don't know if you've ever heard of them, they are from the Mammals but they've been doing this for so long and they said, “You know, you’re making your art and making a living and you also have a family and a life and a house and home,” and I think that's making it and that hit me so hard and as a young person, I look up to them. They're not that much older than me but they had been doing this a lot longer at the time and I really took that to heart. What they said, because. It rang true that maybe the some of the goals that the industry sets out don't bring that much fulfillment and so I think you really have to be careful about what your actual goals are and think about what you want out of the career, how long you want to be doing it, and really set some intentions around what you're after. Then there are places where the industry can help you or places where more money can help you and you can do things obviously in a bigger business mind but all with the intention and the goals of a quality of life that sustains you and not overarching the rest of it. So, I think it's just people get a little lost in the hype and hype lasts a few days; like you can be on cover of “Rolling Stone” one-week and the next week everybody already forgot about it. So, even when you achieve that highest place in the industry that you could ever achieve, if you don't have fulfillment and other things to hold you up, it won't really last long so you can burn out really quickly and I just think it's so important to have intention and goals and to try to make a life out of this art instead of just crash and burn. Accolades; some of them mean a lot and some of them really don't mean much and I think a lot of it is really personal. It's like the values you grow up with, both accolades and values mean different things to different people and so it's all like a pretty personal journey as to what success means. I think that's a beautiful question and I think you're right that it’s really different for everyone."
Currently, May is back home in the mid-west and doing a series of shows with Maia Sharp in Colorado and opening for Cheryl Crow oh July 2 at the Cherry Festival in Traverse City, MI. This after a series of City Winery shows from Boston to Philadelphia.
I hadn’t played in Philadelphia in a really long time, I used to live in Northwest Philly, I lived there for about a year and a half and I hadn't performed in that city since then, so it was really cool to go back. After Philly I went to DC and that was the last before we were in New York City and Boston. We did all the shows at The City Winery we did a little tour with that venue. I was touring with four others, drums, bass, keys and guitar and these were all album release shows. We played some songs from my past records, we played some songs from my last record which I made in Chicago with Woody Goss and we are playing this full album The concerts are built around the humanistic connection. So, I read from the book that the album is titled after and I also read excerpts from letters and correspondence from throughout my life and the show really leads into what it means to connect with one another and to feel a sense of community and camaraderie; especially after this pandemic time of being more isolated, sort of reevaluating what those connections mean. So, it’s really uplifting, a deep concert and an emotional thing and the guys that I'm playing with are all exceptional. So, we're going to have a lot of fun and just share some good music and good time with the people.“
