May Kin Music Band, 2025 Events by Peri Hayes Brian May graciously introduces the May Kin Music Band: “The first members gathered two years ago. However, in October 2023, our group changed as we planned the music for Anita May’s Celebrations of Life. Something magical happened in our bonding and in our music. We gather almost every Tuesday evening and I can honestly say, this is the best band I have ever been a part of. Every member is incredibly talented, supportive and kind. We continue with the spirit and presence of Anita May.” May Kin Music Band consists of the following members: Brian May – accordion, guitar, keyboard, ukulele and vocals; Brendan May – bass and vocals; Jared May – guitar and vocals; Carisa May – vocals and social media; Julie Berkvens – guitar and vocals; Laura Ljd – vocals; Carlene MacMenamin – vocals; Rob MacMenamin – bass, guitar and vocals; Emily McArthur – vocals; Ashley Rammeloo – ukulele, violin and vocals; Jerome Thomas –saxophone and vocals; Paula Thomas – piano and vocals; Steve Vachon – drums; Ami Vader – vocals; Ann Walsh – vocals; Jazz Ware – vocals; Christine Norman – guitar, vocals and Manager; Joan Thomas – Operations Manager; Brad Newman – Photographer and Videographer; Rita and Bob Withenshaw – Hosts; Laurie Vader – Silent Auction Coordinator; the incredible office and kitchen staff of the St. Thomas Seniors’ Recreation Centre. % Why is that small number SO BIG?
“I started taking accordion lessons at the age of five,” Brian describes with wit, “But I consider my first instrument to be a spring door stopper. I started playing those at the age of two. Today, I play lots of instruments. My newest endeavour is learning to play Cello with my friend, Jude. Our instructor is Morgan Flanagan at Studio Arts.”
