Chris DeMay is probably not a stranger to the Milwaukee music scene faithful. If you caught his set opening for Roadside Graves back in August you will definitely understand what a treasure his music is. Chances are you’ve also seen him holding down guitar duties with local favorites Juniper Tar.
Coming next year, Chris DeMay will release Bigger Than Small (January 26th) on local imprint Bear Rifle Records. Mark your calendars. I’ve been enamored with the promotional copy slid into my hand a month back. The six song collection not only shines a light on his own material, but does diligence to Bob Dylan’s “The Man In Me.” The thing I love about Chris DeMay’s sound is its loyalty to folk, rock, and alt-country – all sounds you know we love around here and seems fleeting in the day of computer generated blips and beeps.
We’re thrilled to offer you a first listen to our favorite song (“Drag”) off the forthcoming Bigger Than Small. Check it out below.
Join us Friday, January 29th at Linneman’s in Milwaukee for the CD release party of Bigger Than Small with Chris DeMay and Juniper Tar.
