Every so often a female artist comes along that shows a new generation how it’s done and Imelda May since releasing her debut album “Love Tattoo” which had the Radio One and the likes hailing her as THE one to watch. Her rockabilly sound has got her a place on Jules Holland’s show, where she preformed Johnny Got a Boom Boom, as well as play at the Hot 100 club.
Imelda recently joined Jeff Beck on stage at the Grammy’s 2010 May, and sang “How High the Moon” in a tribute to the late guitar legend Les Paul.
It’s fantastic to see that May is finally enjoying a little taste of mainstream success in a career that began singing in Dublin clubs at age 16. Last year she undertook her first US tour in support of her debut album “Love Tattoo.” Her collection of jazzy, bluesy, roots rock songs topped the Irish charts and won her the Best Irish Female award at the Meteor Ireland Music Awards, the Irish equivalent of the Grammy’s.
And after another US Tour supporting Jamie Callum through the next few months May will heading back to the UK and on May 20th will be bringing her sweet and soulful sound to the Assembly Hall Theatre! May has something spectacular in the way that she sing and she seems to hold such a genuine beauty and respect for the style that seems almost ingrained in her bones. Few artists who are just getting their feet firmly on the ladder come across so wonderfully as May does and if your a lover of great music with a warm and subtle style then you need to see Ms May live!
