If Keith Richards, Joan Jett and Ray Charles could spawn a love child, it’d be Romi Mayes (suitably pronounced RAW-ME). Hailing from Winnipeg and renowned as one of the hardest working independent musicians touring the globe today, Mayes has chipped away at the rock and roll stone over the past couple of decades. In late 2010, Romi teamed up with life-long friend Jay Nowicki (The Perpetrators) to write and perform a live, original electric-duo album. After the Show is a tribute to all independent musicians, chronicling the utter commitment to an art form where success is measured by creative persistence instead of widespread financial fame.
Plays with: Tattoo Weather / Directed by Steven K. Johnson, 2013, Canada, 3:41 min/ Featuring Jonathan Byrd at the Times Change Café with guest singers Andrina Turenne and Alexa Dirks from Chic Gamine.
