Dent May Rocks the Ukulele!

Dent May & His Magnificent Ukulele.  The name speaks for itself, but here are a few additional tidbits.  Mr. May is from Oxford, Mississippi.  He put together a 6-song EP last year called A Brush With Velvet which is available for free download on his site. The songs within the set are short, little pop songs based around the ukulele — obviously.  His style is slightly reminiscent of a crooner from the 1950’s with blends of doo-wop tied to amusing lyrics about young thrills and innocent diversions.  Glorious, light-hearted pop!  Does it get much better?

You may also wish to check out the video for “Oh, Paris.”  It’s a new song expected to be featured on his LP due later this year.  It’s also quite brilliant.
