Max Hay performs an energized show of Irish, Blues, Reggae, and Folk music to please any age group. Yes, even the very old. Max brings witty songwriting, professional showmanship, spicy rhythms, and a fortress of love to any size venue.
Live Music is the antidote to just about every problem a mammal can encounter. Max brings it with him in a high-mileage Subaru station wagon. A tent to sleep in and a trunk full of cds add about 50lbs to the full sound and lighting rig that fits in the hatch like a 3-D tetris game. On a full time quest to enjoy the wonders of the earth through music, the show floats on the wings of an ever changing line up of incredible guest musicians, and unorthodox arrangements. No loops, backing tracks, or funny business. Just Live music. Any Time, Any Place.
He's touring in support of the brand new live album, "Live Music is Best," check out the tour dates for a show at your favorite venue. If you don't see one, email max@maxhay.com or send a message on this site to book one!

Hello Everyone! Its been awhile since i have did a update comment lol!

Oh specking of those brb lol opps! ok we are good now lol! They did a MRI at the end of june and that showed what they were looking for. Then they did a VEEG (Video EEG) and i did have a few seizures then. so finally its in the records that they are seizures. geezz! 15years later. no seizures since july 8th. "gives weird look"! So please keep me in your prayers as for hoping things start to recover. any way things are going well besides that. My family is doing well. so i hope this finds you well and if it doesnt i hope things get better.. Had a lot go on but who doesnt?

Talk about ESP or what I was wondering how you were going only the other day and threw your cd on. Man you had the crowd going wild at Brackets & Jam. I have had a real rough trot since I saw you last been in hospital a couple of times and just got out of hospital after having some intestinal surgery due to Chron's disease basicly auto immune disease but feeling much better now and up and about. Been writing and practicing heaps, and finally quit smoking 7 weeks and havn't looked back so a little proud of myself there. Really hope to see you sometime in the future.
