One of the Midwest’s most prolific and passionate songwriters, May continues to share
her gift for writing songs of substance that feel both new and soulfully familiar. Her lyrics
offer a window into her heartbreak, her empowerment, and her emboldened spirit.
May considers her career in the music industry as a service-oriented one and uses her
platform for positive change. She stresses the importance of environmental advocacy,
social justice, creative empowerment, and community building as necessary work in our
world. May’s body of work has become an anthem and an example of why we need to
listen to women, empower women, and why we need to hear their stories.

With a long list of full-length albums and numerous collaborations, May Erlewine’s
catalog is proof of her creative power. Her work has been spotlighted by Rolling Stone
and NBC’s “The Voice” and covered by countless artists. Erlewine’s 2020 release,
“Anyway,” a collaboration with Woody Goss (vulfpeck), showcases her diversity as a
singer featuring the newly acclaimed song, “Days Go By.” Her 2017 album. Mother Lion,
produced by Tyler Duncan (vulfpeck) and backed by Joe Dart, Theo Katzman, Woody
Goss and Joshua Pinkham (Jeremy Kittel), has become an Indie favorite most notably
for the empowering single “Never One Thing.” Her newest album, The Real Thing
produced by Theo Katzman, highlights her songwriting recorded live at his studio in the
Northern Woods of Michigan.

Among her successes, perhaps her biggest accomplishment is that her music has
touched people all over the world. Her words have held solace for weary hearts, offered
a light in the darkness, and held a lot of space for the pain and joy of being alive. When
she starts to sing, there’s no way around it: welcome in, everyone. The door is wide open.

John Bowyer & Jayme Hood refine their musical artistry in the fabled hills of southern Indiana. They have honed their skills and craft in the honest old-school tradition of putting in time and collaborating with some of the most significant performers in their scene.
Their hard work has been paying off. With hundreds of live performances in the last 10 years, these road seasoned troubadours are swiftly traveling beyond their deep Bluegrass/Folk/Americana roots, both musically and geographically, and into fresh territory where they have been defined as both “Authentic and honest” yet artistically “innovative and delightfully original”.
With masterful musicianship and endlessly appealing vocals, these genuinely adept co-writers never cease to deliver a deep well of originally introspective and heartfelt songs, of both comedy and tragedy, that consistently brings music lovers of all ages and sensitivities to their growing audiences. Catch a show. You’ll be glad you did.

The Livery has a 250 capacity entertainment venue, housed inside our historic 115-year-old brewpub! We offer a “Michigan-centric” event calendar each month, with most live entertainment taking place on Friday and Saturday. We occasionally book a Thursday or Sunday event, given a strong history in our market. Otherwise, our focus is on our established local bands, Michigan-based bands, and other strong Regional/National touring bands. While we always like to give local bands the chance to cut their teeth on our stage, we simply cannot accommodate all requests….and we often find it difficult to book bands from out of the area, given the volume of requests we receive. If your band has a strong draw, and feel you would be a good fit to play our stage, please email booking@liverybrew.com and include any pertinent links and press material. Cheers!

**Please note that we are typically booking 6 months ahead in the calendar, and our programming focuses on original material**
