Musician Teacher Recordist
With his creative home rooted in new-age folk, Max views and explores the world through many lenses, imbuing song and lyric with a wandering spirit and intangible freeness.
Steeped early on in the thoughts and sounds of greats like the Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, and Marvin Gaye, their influence still finds its way out, mixed with flirtations of philosophy, the punk movement, and thoroughly-lived existential realizations.
These works are brought to life with the help of friends and collaborators in his group Max and the Minimums, which consists of members from groups including Starpainter, Bailey Kate, Rainbow Patrol, and Fawns (Joel Gray - guitar, Richard Charlton - bass, and Chris Morden - drums). His music has been featured on CBC’s Key of A, CKUA, and across Canada on campus radio stations.
Max is based in the gap between the Great Plains and the Rockies in Southern Alberta, and currently spends most of his time in Sikhookotoki, Treaty 7 Territory.
