Matt Mays
Mays represents a crucial transitional era in the region’s cultural history. He is a modern extension of the “Folk” tradition, demonstrating how regional storytelling adapts to changing generations and technologies.
“We’re playing a form of music that is greater than ourselves. Long after we’re dead and gone, we’d like to think we introduced the world to a culture everyone should know about.”
– Alan Doyle, Great Big Sea
