Changes are in the wind: A new look, three CD projects in the works, a greater presence at MerleFest 2010, a bunch of new songs, a revamped website nearing launch day... and a brand new newsletter! And behind it all, the same old Andy May we all know and love.
Stay tuned! |
Three CD Projects on the Way
Andy's been very busy! He's got all but two tracks completely finished for his new (as yet unnamed) CD. It will have 13 original songs-- most are new, but a few are old favorites that have never found their way onto a CD project... until now! We hope to finish the project this fall for an early 2010 release.
Andy is also remastering and reissuing Dance of Life--A Mandolin Celebration complete with wonderful new cover art by Karen Cannon. Karen did the cover art for Cafe' Americana as well, and is one of the premier music artists in the nation. We are very proud to have her work grace the cover of Andy's CDs.
The third upcoming CD is a compillation of tracks that Andy released in the 1980s and early 1990s, and that are now out of print. They were on Andy's Ride with Me LP and his Friends, Gentle Breeze, and Sampler audiocassettes. He may even throw in a few cuts that were recorded at the time but never released! It will be a true retrospective project, with all the tracks remastered and available for the first time in a long time--or ever! |
 Walnut Valley Festival 2009
This was Andy's 20th anniversary at the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. As usual, the Kids and families participating in the Acoustic Kids showcases were a delight, the audiences for the kids and for Andy's own sets were wonderful, the festival staff and sound crews were supporting us all the way, and this year, even the weather couldn't be beat! It was another great year, and if you've never been to Winfield, you owe it to yourself to get there for next year's festival. |
 MerleFest 2010 In late April 2010, Andy will once again play MerleFest, one of the nation's premier Americana music festivals. This year, in addtion to the Youth Showcases, community outreach, and workshops, Andy will be performing on the Cabin Stage, among others. Stay tuned for more information as the festival approaches. |
