From the depths of rural Mississippi, ukulele in hand, Dent May is here to rock your world - or perhaps just to seduce you with his croon. Harking back to the 1950s era lounge music, with a little Jens Lekman and some 1960s Tropicalia thrown in for good measure, Dent May is gunning single-handedly to bring the ukulele back. No longer will it be considered a plaything of hula girls and frat boys on spring break. It will be taken seriously... okay, maybe not. But it’s definitely fun to dance to, and Mr. May has crafted a wonderful debut album, “The Good Feeling Music of Dent May and his Magnificent Ukulele”, that pays homage to those great ukulele players that came before him.
