   About Max Vernon


People be talkin' smack!

"If you've hung around the East Village in the past year or so, chances are you've come across 21-year-old antifolk musician and downtown dandy Max Vernon. The singer has a penchant for eyecatching ensembles and has performed his infectious blend of jazz, doo-wop and pop at the CMJ festival, Pianos and Knitting Factory." - W Magazine

"This guy is as well rounded as artists get. His sound is a unique blend of unfiltered pop, 1940s jazz and harmonic brilliance that can only be defined as "smart pop." It is clear that playing the piano is second nature to Max -- like blinking or breathing -- which is something you rarely see from musicians anymore. Then again, he isn't part of the mass commercialism machine we have all grown to rely on." - New York Post

"He has a unique style that is something like Regina Spektor’s music mixed with Patrick Wolf’s vocals. The true artistry of Max though, lies in his original compositions such as on the uplifting and enchanting “When Your Body Breaks”. The track shows that beyond a great voice and some impressive musical ability, Max Vernon has some songwriting genius in him." - Music for Kids Who Can't Read Good.

"Max Vernon has a vocal instrument that is deep and resonating, its clear tonality has reach and depth of maturity. With a signature voice he delivers piano driven melodies with a broad lyrical palette of intelligence. At twenty years old he composes music that can move in many ways like the Woody Guthrie of Pop to make a bold comparison." - Obsession Collection Music.

"There's something about Max Vernon. He's got the quirk factor mixed in with a heavyweight songwriting style that strikes a curious chord in me. At first when I heard his stuff, I didn't quite get it. But then I couldn't quite ignore it either. But what I do know is that "When Your Body Breaks" is just magical." - Electroqueer

Max Vernon writes neurotic, Foucauldian pop songs that are like "too wordy and shit." His idea of a good time involves a jug of moonshine, some glitter, and a dusty honky tonk piano. He WILL steal yr grandma's clothing. You have been warned.

Hey, just found your music and wanted to say you are insanely talented and make me feel like an extremely inadequate pianist. Also, this is the first time I've ever heard music inspired by Foucault, and I'm pretty impressed that it works :) x

Hello Mr. Vernon! I was listening to some of your music from 2008 and was just thinking about you. I still get the chills when i hear "when your body breaks". but also, i do have a question for you. 

Your Myspace layout is really well done, how did you manicure it to such a stylish statement of Maxness? How can I establish my own layout in such a way so I too may visually appeal to my audience?

sincerely, Sam Crossland.

Hi Max ! I discovered you with your Katy Perry's cover in a cover website. It was really nice, so I decided to know more about you, and I was really happy to discover your myspace which is really great. The songs are very good. You're really talented. I hope you'll go far, you deserve it.
Good luck
