07. May Erlewine

Folk singer-songwriter May Erlewine takes Michael on a journey of her musical upbringing, from growing up with hippie parents to train jumping and busking to make ends meet. She performs the incredibly timely “The People’s Song,” and she and Michael talk through their motivations as artists. May concludes finally sharing the inspiration for hit song “Shine On” and defines what “Stay Human” means to her. She is, as Michael Franti describes, a “true musician.” Recorded: March 2017 at Blissfest in Petoskey, MICONNECT FURTHER:https://www.mayerlewine.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/may_erlewine Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2OCklJbxEeL54I1EQOlbxW?si=_OSPVHoNSlysQKbhk89IXw NEW album Follow Your Heart: https://orcd.co/followyourheart Keep in touch with Michael online: https://michaelfranti.com The Stay Human podcast is available wherever you listen to podcasts: https://stayhumanpodcast.comPODCAST EPISODE CREDITS:Executive Producers: Michael Franti and Activist Artists Management Producer: Angie Griffith for Activist Artists ManagementArtist Manager: Caitlin Stone for Activist Artists ManagementManagement Coordinator: Ashley Dill for Activist Artists ManagementSocial Media Manager: Emily Marquis for Coffeehouse CollectiveInstrumental from: “Crazy For You” by Michael Franti Editing by: Anthony Thoen
