Concert by Dent May, a singer-songwriter whose work blends indie pop with classic songwriting influences.
Dent May plays MilkBoy on Tuesday, October 27, at 7 PM. It's a single-bill night, so he's the only name on the marquee.
May is a singer and songwriter from Mississippi, now based in Los Angeles, and his work sits across indie pop and classic songwriting. If that sounds a bit vague, it's because his sound pulls from two different directions: the home-recorded, DIY approach of indie pop and the melodic, song-first tradition of the 1970s. The result is a blend of pop sensibilities and a warmth that feels closer to a living room than a studio, with a focus on melody and songwriting that doesn't get lost in the production.
He's originally from Mississippi and now lives in Los Angeles, and that distance shows up in the music—the Southern roots of his songwriting meeting the polished, sunny pop of the West Coast. It's a sound that fits right into the indie pop world but keeps one foot in the classic songwriting tradition, and he's the sole focus of the evening.
