Romi Mayes – Music from the Heart and Soul
Renowned as one of the hardest working independent musicians touring the globe today, Mayes has received extensive critical acclaim, performing what BBC’s Bob Harris described as “Music from the heart and soul”. Over her career spanning two decades, she has created five full length albums and has performed her music to audiences around the world.
Romi Mayes is a force to be reckoned with that will be a household name for years to come. She is only getting better with each album and one thing you can bet on is this hard core prairie gal has no plans to burn out or fade away.
