If you haven’t heard Romi Mayes’ music yet, it’s time you do. Hailing from the prairies of Canada, Mayes is one of the hardest working independent musicians touring the globe today.
Gearing up for her seventh album release in June 2024, Small Victories, for which she also served as producer, Mayes has become a household name in the international music scene. She is also known for her relentless endeavors to support artists in the Manitoba and Canadian music industries through the path she has paved for herself, most prominently with her role as Senior Event Producer for the company she has helped to develop, Curbside Concerts Canada.
Mayes has garnered three Western Canadian Music Awards for Songwriter of the Year, two Western Canadian Music Awards for Album of The Year, one for Blues Artist of The Year, a Juno nomination for Album of the Year, and various other Canadian Music Award nominations. Now, on the footsteps of her long new album and after a nine year hiatus, Mayes and her phenomenal band will once again take her sweet and raspy vocals and fine-tuned, edgy songwriting to stages across the globe.
Over two decades, Romi Mayes has toured Canada, the US, Europe, the UK, and has shared the stage with the likes of Levon Helm, Derek Trucks, Ricky Skaggs, Billy Joe Shaver, Tom Cochrane, John Hiatt, Jim Cuddy, Guy Clark, Sue Foley, and many more.
With no intention of burning out or fading away, Romi Mayes has proven she is here to stay.
