This week’s artist of the week is joemaymusic

Joe May is a songwriter and producer equally inspired and inhibited by humor, heart, and self-awareness, dissecting his journey through life with laughter and quiet vulnerability. His forthcoming studio project, Mild Adversity & Shallow Heartbreaks, is a testament to this craft—a house of mirrors that reflects both the sincerity of its creator and the playful wink of someone who doesn’t take himself too seriously. Rooted in the smooth, sunlit sounds of ‘70s west coast pop and filtered through May’s sharp wit, it’s an album that revels in its detail and intention while never losing sight of the impermanence of it all.

For May, a Brazilian-born, North Carolina-based artist, music is not merely an escape or a statement; it’s a way of processing the messy contradictions of life itself. On the stage, Joe’s dynamic live presence transforms his songs into an electric, communal experience. He draws audiences in with his magnetic energy and commanding, yet approachable style. He has captivated audiences at festivals like Shakori Hills Grassroots Fest, Mental Awakening, and Front Porch Fest, where his performances showcase a balance of ambitious musicianship and infectious playfulness.
