Based out of Charlotte, NC - songwriter/keyboardist/producer Joe May, known for his work with Pluto Gang, has released his debut solo album and has built a high-energy live show featuring established local musicians. May has launched headfirst into this new act, with tens of thousands of streams and packed rooms arriving just as quickly as the project was announced.   Fronted by May playing a 50-year-old Clavinet, loaded with distortion like a lead guitar, May's live act brings the jamming, improvisational spirit of Pluto Gang, in a polished and soulful retro pop context.   "Bridging pop, soul, rock and R&B elements with vintage keyboard sounds, “No Party By That Name” is a collage of sonic textures — seamlessly floating between two-part vocal harmonies, sharp guitar riffs, and earworm keyboard soundscapes blending a multitude of genres." - Garret K Woodward, Rolling Stone contributing writer --------------------

Humbalaya is a 7-piece group based out of Washington DC, incorporating elements of funk, rock, latin, and jazz fusion into one tasty groove-filled dish, good enough for the whole family.
