Joe May

I spent the last couple years chasing a big-band rock vision inspired by my favorite ’70s soft rock records. I wrote the tunes, worked with a horn arranger, recorded it all at home, and eventually took it on the road with a 9-piece band.

It was chaotic, exhausting, and deeply rewarding. I’ve spent this spring recharging, and revisiting these shows to mix them has been just a real treat!

I’m really proud of what we made together. Month of Mondays (Live) — capturing that chapter — is out now.

NEW LIVE ALBUM OUT TODAY

My next studio album is almost dressed and ready to dance; the sound is changing, and I’m not ready to say farewell to the big band era yet. So “Month of Mondays” is out now on all streaming platforms. It features highlights from all our shows last year with the 9-piece big band, with horn parts and covers arranged by North Carolina’s very own Brad Wilcox.

Cheers, see you all again very soon.
