“The Jersey-born singer-songwriter bears petals that lilt with a drowsy, introspective longing” Hard of Hearing

“filled with passion… and a quest for genuine connections.” Still Listening

“transcends its DIY roots weaving a majestic sonic tapestry” Daily Music Report

“powerful and introspective” Acute Pop

A native of Jersey, which has helped to influence his introspective style of writing. Maximilian’s love of music bloomed in his teenage years after digging through bargain bins in local record shops which inspired him to start playing in bands on the small island. The island soon felt too small for him however and he moved to Brighton where he has lived ever since, frequently collaborating with some of the scene's most familiar faces including Martha Eve and Hutch as well as supporting acts passing through like Junior Brother, Naima Bock, Route 500 and Porchlight. 

Writing and performing since 2018, the live shows have gone through various arrangements, and is still changing each show to date. Solo sets which cast silence upon audiences, fully fledged arrangements with classical instruments, and gritty three piece sets more in line with the likes of Nirvana. The songs combine influences from 90’s alternative music for fans of Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and Elliott Smith, with the more raw and classic vibe of Neil Young and Big Thief.


+ Maddi O'Brien

Hailing from the hills of Eastern NSW, Australia, travelling troubadour Maddi O’Brien sings ambient folk and melodious lover blues with a warbling bush twist. Her sultry words of poetry come to life as if your own distant memories...
 
 Leaving Australia with a one-way ticket in her early 20s, she quickly fell into a life of adventure and vagabondage, traversing across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa for several years with eccentric folk from all walks of life. She busked on the streets of the Northern Hemisphere both solo and with other nomadic travellers from the laneways of Northern Italy to the footbridges of South Portugal, to the railway stations of Berlin and the esplanades of Istanbul, learning local folk songs as well as the ballads of the gypsies along the way.  
 
The last 12 months saw her on the lineups of; Woodford Folk Festival (AU), A Festival Called Panama (AU), Shambhala In Your Heart (Thailand), Folk On The Lawn (Wales) and Yungaburra Folk Festival (AU). She is currently touring Europe, playing intimate concerts in gardens, bars, galleries and festivals
