Details:
In the Winnipeg music scene where the term singer-songwriter is said as
often as 'Holy ****, it's cold!', 30 year old Romi Mayes has managed to
make some serious heads turn. Returning to Manitoba in 2002 after
over 8 years of Canadian travel, Mayes brings a phat country bluegrass
guitar style, edgy warm vocals, and slick songs filled with experience and
soulful sentiment. Her stage show has been known to make some miss
their mouths when sipping their beer.

Mayes has spent years playing in such projects as country bluegrass band
Off The Wagon, fronting Big Mama Rama, and has solo toured all over
Canada. She has shared the stage with the likes of Iris Dement, Ricky
Skaggs, Ray Condo, The Rockin' Highliners, Pat Temple, and many more.

A highlight of her musical career was when she paired up with Chris
Carmichael in 2003. Carmichael is well known for having been bluesman
Big Dave McLean's righthand man for years. Recently, she formed a band
called 'Romi Mayes and The Temporarily Employed' whose members
include players from such bands as The D.Rangers, The Duhks, and
Corb Lund Band.

As spring 2005 approaches, Mayes' guitar and voice is being recognized
for her track on The Guess Who Tribute compilation that is being played
on every radio across Canada. Romi Mayes has already begun her 2005
Canadian touring to various festivals, clubs, and concerts to promote her
latest album'The Living Room Sessions' which has been wowing
audiences across the country.
