   About Juniper Mays
Juniper Mays came together in the early part of 2007. Formed by friends pursuing musical interests all across the spectrum, the guys would perform together when they were coincidentally at the same bars, parties or festivals and instruments were close at hand. Focused around the original songs and singing of Robert McHugh, lead by the powerful and defined guitar playing of Erik Smith and held down by the rhythm section of Kyle Hendrix on drums and Dan Schmelzer on bass guitar, the spontaneous chemistry began to be requested by other acts to share the stage. Playing many shows under different names and never knowing what was going to happen, Juniper Mays was born from sheer momentum. Drawing from Rock’n’Roll roots and infusing folk, bluegrass, alt-country, Irish, and a touch of reggae and jazz, Juniper Mays is becoming known for their consistently energizing, fun live shows always peppered with moments of pure improvisation. The band is constantly evolving and growing, never complacent and always headed for the next song and show. Pimp Myspace
