Mayes is the hardest-working person in the Americana scene right

'Sweet
Somethin Steady' REVIEWS and INTERVIEWS:
"Underneath
the cursed swilling beer infested bluegrass tinges from her past albums,
breathes the heart of Winnipeg songster Romi Mayes now covered with
the subtle beauty of dirt jangled guitars bursting with confident sparse
arrangements unearthing the gritty heart of 'I eat nails for breakfast
before I hand out a whupin' woman with a passion for life, living and
music rarely seen in her genre....and she can play her f**king guitar."

QUOTES:
""This
is the sort of sound you’d want to hear pouring out of roadhouses
as you drive up expecting to get drunk and maybe fall in love."
- David Cowling, Lead Writer, Americana UK
Magazine
"Romi
Mayes is somethin else. She writes great songs and
she's got a great voice, but you should see her try to outrun a train.
I think I had more fun on tour with Romi Mayes than I've ever had in
my life."
-
Gurf Morlix, producer, musician
"God
may not have made honky-tonk angels, but came damned close
with Romi Mayes"
- Cindy Filipenko,
Herizons Magazine

PRESS QUOTES:
"She
is going to blow you away."
\- Michael Nave
Talent buyer, Woody Guthrie
Folk Festival
"If
you were around the Canadian music scene in the late 80's and experienced
the early buzz surrounding the music of k.d. lang (at least the exctiement
part of that phenomena);then get ready for another chapter of the same
thing..."
-Larry Delaney
Editor, Country Music News
"The simple charm
of Mayes' melodies and the transfixing beauty of her torchy twang command
the centre stage."
-Darryl Sterdan
The Winnipeg Sun
"A
soothing voice that bridges the gap between Loretta Lynn and Nanci Griffith,
and delivers something a little more accessible to the less adventuresome"
-Broose Tulloch
CKUW, 95.9 FM
"Romi
Mayes is a charming and passionate singer/guitar player whose years
of experience in Winnipeg's unpretentious community have assured her
confidence and a deep understanding of true roots music."
-John Scoles
Proprietor, Times Change(d) High and Lonesome
Club
"Winnipeg
is producing some incredibly hot musical acts. Among them is Romi Mayes…
a Canadian original, an innovative, creative and enthusiastic musician."
-Al Beeber, The Lethbridge Herald
"…rowdy
enough to incite the most scandalous of bar brawls, yet sensitive enough
to track down and return the knocked out teeth to the proper recipient
the following morning."
- Shain Shapiro, The
View, Hamilton, ON
