Singer-songwriter Dan May’s career path has taken more twists and turns than a corkscrew in a hurricane. He has worked as a grave-digger, television cameraman, short-order cook, nuclear missile security guard, gas station attendant, sold clothing in a big and tall store, driven an ice cream truck, coached track, delivered furniture, wrote feature stories for a daily newspaper, unloaded trucks at an amusement park and labored in a greenhouse; all before the age of 25.
While studying music composition in college, he inadvertently stumbled upon an opera career that would see him singing with opera companies across the United States as well as Canada, and leaving a promising future as a songwriter behind. Cut to 15 years later, and after a vocal chord surgery that left him no longer able to meet the demands of opera, Dan returned to doing what he does best; writing and performing his own songs.
Since his cross-over from classical to popular music, Dan has hit the ground running. With two critically-acclaimed albums under his belt, The Long Road Home, is an impressive follow-up that will almost certainly be embraced by fans and critics alike. Produced by GRAMMY-Award winning producer and engineer Glenn Barratt (Melody Gardot, Lizanne Knott, Amos Lee, Jill Scott), The Long Road Home is a seamless tapestry of unforgettable melodies and clever, engaging lyrics; all delivered in a rich and soulful voice that speaks to both the head and the heart. From the haunting introduction of “Water Under the Bridge” to the lonesome longing of “Nightbird” and the heart-breaking waltz of “Irene,” listeners are taken on a musical journey of genres and emotions that will leave them wanting more.
Hello Dear Dan. How are you,My Friend? Just stopped by to wish you, a very Happy Thanksgiving weekend. All the best to You, and your fine music. Goldie..
Could we but draw back the curtain, That surrounds each others lives, See the naked heart and spirit; Know what spur the action gives; Often we would find it better, Purer then we think we would. We would love each other better, If we only understood.
