Wonderfully Accessible!

As a trained theatre artist, Max presents a highly polished show that puts him in a league of his own. His music is wonderfully accessible for all ages. When performing Max has an ability to be “in the moment” and connect with his audience with a sense of joy and genuine humour. Working with Max was a pleasure and his performances definitely added to the celebration at our Grand Opening.

- Mairi Macrae, Public Programs Librarian, Whitehorse Public Library, Dec 2, 2011

Powerful! Superb!

Exquisitely powerful delivery. Your pacing and punctuation of "The Well" with pauses and enactments was superb.

- Mary Gavan, storyteller and past president of Storytellers of Canada / Conteurs du Canada

Definitely Two Thumbs Up!

I visited your website and listened to some of your samples. I really love the premise of The Heart Shaped Tree (I'm a big Shakespeare fan), and love the idea of sharing the message with young children! Definitely two thumbs up in my book!

Huge Family Appeal!

Max has playful, yet meaningful insight into what children need to hear. His songs create giddiness and lightness in the heart; and speaking of hearts, Max's recent recording of his story, The Heart Shaped Tree, has huge family appeal with a thought proving message about acceptance, peace and harmony - his articulate voice is warm and inviting.

Loved Dragon With A Flagon

Max - I just wanted to let you know that when my oldest son Ashton was 7 he given a copy of Dragon with a Flagon and loved it. Well, he's now 11 years old and just the other day I went into his room to say goodnight to him, and he had it playing on his stereo! Thank you for making an impact in his life!
