Chris DeMay

After moving from Chicago to Milwaukee 10 years ago, Chris DeMay transitioned into the local scene with West Of Rome, an alt-countryish outfit that went to work with ex-Wilco member Jay Bennett. Under Bennett’s influence and friendship, DeMay made his first EP, the rootsy and introspective I Won’t Be Me, in 2007. Lately DeMay has been busy as a member of a rough-hewn Milwaukee folk-rock band Juniper Tar, but he hasn’t left his own music behind. This year sees the release of a new EP, Bigger Than Small, on Bear Rifle Records, the label of Milwaukee band The Championship .
