hey there myspace wanderers. email me at yes.max@gmail.com for interests in CDs.
After hearing the hammered dulcimer at a Chicago area folk festival at the age of six, Max ZT was hooked. He studied under Kat Eggleston for ten years before venturing to Bard College in upstate New York. Several years in to his college studies, Max travelled to Senegal, West Africa to study the Mandenko technique with the Cissoko griot family and has returned several times.
Max now resides and works in Brooklyn, New York. He has put out two disks (Southport Records, Chicago; ZT PubCo, New York) with each being quite different from the other. He is in the process of putting out his third disk, with an expected release this July, 2007. He has won the National Hammered Dulcimer Championship and has shared the stage with many artists ranging from Tea Leaf Green, to Jimmy Cliff to The Slip.
you can contact Max directly at yes.max@gmail.com for booking inquiries or just general quesions/comments.
you can also check out his videos online here or at youtube.com/maxzt
