"Has to be considered a serious contender" Sunday Business Post "A tip from the initiated - don't miss him live" **** Irish Times Max Greenwood - Soul of a Man Ten new songs explore themes of tortured love and broken dreams. Max and his band here begin with the exquisite jazz-balladry of Song of Love, then lead us through electronic samba grooves and some great production touches from producer Steve Shannon, onto the epic pop of King of Dreamers. It’s all knit together with Max’s soulful voice, beautifully fluid piano playing and although the record is certainly dark in places in it’s subject matter, we are left with a distinctly warm and mellow vibe. Max moved to Dublin, Ireland in 2005. He previously studied and worked in London as a piano player and engineer-producer and recorded his first album in a shed in his garden. In demand as a piano player he also records and tours with among others Tom Baxter, Vyvienne Long and Adrian Crowley. Songs from his 1st album ‘In The Blood’ have been used for Film and TV. He has supported artists including Terry Callier, The Noisettes and Ana Gog and played headline shows in venues all over Ireland including The National Concert Hall.
