“Arse-kicking Irish rockabilly revivalist.”—Entertainment
Weekly
“She has vocal chops that put nearly any singer to shame.”—New
York Daily News
“Dublin, Ireland-born Imelda May’s career is fostered
by paying homage to legends like Buddy Holly and Johnny Cash and, more
importantly, furthering rockabilly’s cross-pollination into New Orleans jazz,
delta blues and amp-splitting punk aggression.”—The Los Angeles Times
“May proves bygone eras are merely sources of inspiration
for her spirited take on American music.”—The Boston Globe
Imelda May’s More Mayhem is out now on

sold more than 400,000 copies worldwide. Bonus material includes three new
songs includes the first single “Roadrunner” and tracks “Gypsy” and “Blues
Calling.” More Mayhem also contains a previously unreleased
cover of Patsy Cline’s “Walking After Midnight” and new remixes of “Inside Out”
and “Proud and Humble.” The Times in the U.K. raved
“Roadrunner had vocals that flowed from May as fast as her husband’s hurricane
paced surf guitar rhythms”.
Mayhem marked May’s second album in the U.S. and
her first on the Decca label. She wrote 13 of the 14 tracks and the album
debuted at #1 on Billboard’s New Artist Chart. May appeared on “The

Ray.” She closed out 2011 with a sold out show at Dublin’s 02 Arena duetting
with fellow countryman Bono.

double-bass, Dave Priseman on trumpet and Steve Rushton on drums. The band has
