Dan May

Singer-songwriter Dan May’s career path has taken more twists and turns than a corkscrew in a hurricane. He has worked as a grave-digger, television cameraman, short-order cook, nuclear missile security guard, made gear-shift covers in a rubber factory, pumped gas, sold clothing in a big and tall store, driven an ice cream truck, coached track, delivered furniture, wrote feature stories for a daily newspaper, unloaded trucks at an amusement park and labored in a greenhouse; all before the age of 25.While studying music composition in college, he inadvertently stumbled upon an opera career that would see him singing with opera companies across the United States as well as Canada, and leaving a promising future as a songwriter behind. Cut to 15 years later, and after a vocal chord surgery that left him no longer able to meet the demands of opera, Dan returned to doing what he does best; writing and performing his own songs. Talk about a blessing in disguise.Since his cross-over from classical to popular music, Dan has hit the ground running. Fate Said Nevermind, the follow-up to his critically acclaimed debut CD, was released in late December and has quickly become a “most requested” album for radio stations across the country.
