Welcome to the new old fashioned adventures of Mandalyn May. A songwriter, performer, and ukulele enthusiast, Mandalyn loves to share the joy of music with adults and children alike. After spending two years on the road - from Scotland to NY to the Pacific Northwest - she has recently settled in Chico, California, where she is fast at work on several ukulele related projects. In 2011 she played over 75 gigs, and was blessed to perform and teach workshops for DaSilva’s Ukulele Studio, the Ukulele Club of Santa Cruz, the Wine Country Ukulele Festival, and Eugene’s UKEtoberfest! She is currently working with the Chico Unified School District and the Chico Children’s Ukulele Group (CCUG), and will be co-producing the first annual We ‘Heart’ Ukulele Festival on February 12, 2012 (See Link Above!!).
She is also keeping an eye out for partnership opportunities with nonprofits and folks who are working towards sustainability in Agriculture, Architecture, and the Arts.
Were you hoping to find more ‘back’ to this backstory?
Coming soon:
(by which we mean, some time in the future when extra time magically appears in the current schedule):
Blame it on Scotland
(in which Ms. May’s performing career begins by happy accident at the Knockengorroch Music Festival)
Losing Everything, Gaining Perspective
(in which Mandalyn has an ‘aha’ moment
after all of her worldly possessions are stolen)
Life, Death, and Bravery by Persuasion
(you’ll just have to read it to find out what this means...)
The Full Monty
(or, as much as can be succinctly stated about one life in one page)
In addition, the following links will work in about two years, as the pieces of this musical life puzzle come together.
