biographical info
Sandy May and Ian Cornelissen are, domestically speaking, The Domestics. Their musical collaboration began in the winter of 2008 and has produced a sound and style described as “saltwater country meets Bonnie and Clyde”. Their songs have a classic quality delivered in modern fashion, blending country twang with 1960’s rock ‘n roll rhythms, melodic pop sensibilities, and clever, introspective lyrics. Although they are “married…with a band”, Sandy and Ian have also been known to take their intimate, living room style performances on the town as a duo. The Domestics have shared stages throughout Atlantic Canada with such artists as NQ Arbuckle, Dan Mangan, The Skydiggers, Rah-Rah, Kite Hill, The Burning Hell, B.A. Johnson, Al Tuck, Rose Cousins, and Mark Bragg. The Domestics were most recently awarded, FACTOR and MUSICNL New Talent Grants in support of their forthcoming release State & Arrow.
