Romi Mayes is a Canadian born musician. Romi Mayes was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba and began performing on stage at the age of 15 years, and touring throughtout the United States and the UK playing at festivals, theatres, bars, halls, cafes and even living rooms.
Mayes\' style has been described as edgy, bourbon-infused country blues and bluegrass, characterized by sympathy and honesty. She has been linked to various artists from around the globe which have helped her to be recognized- these artists include Ricky Skaggs, Billy Joe Shaver, Corb Lund, Iris DeMent, Jim Cuddy, Joe Ely, Fred Eaglesmith, Sue Foley, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Butch Hancock, Bo Ramsay, Martha Wainwright, Hayes Carll, Lynn Miles, Gurf Morlix, and Barney Bentall.

\"Underneath the cursed swilling beer infested bluegrass tinges from her past albums, breathes the heart of Winnipeg songster Romi Mayes now covered with the subtle beauty of dirt jangled guitars bursting with confident sparse arrangements unearthing the gritty heart of \'I eat nails for breakfast before I hand out a whupin\' woman with a passion for life, living and music rarely seen in her genre....and she can play her f**king guitar.\" - - Gordie Tentrees, Musician
\"Romi Mayes has been quoted as being one of the hardest working independent singer/musicians in Canada, and at 33 years of age she is not going to slow down, in fact she is already planning her next album for release before the end of 2008.\" - Maverick Magazine-UK (rated Romi 5 stars)
