Dance: The Max Band

The Max Band can play it all—and likely will: rhythm & blues, classic rock, Stevie Wonder, swing à la Nat King Cole, pop hits, roadhouse blues, Latin grooves, a bit o’ Beatles, and even a waltz or three. They’re a longtime staple of both NW Dance and (way, waaay back) Living Traditions, and the quartet is anchored by guitar master and lyrical vocalist Howard Mack.
Featured with The Max Band will be Darelle Holden. “Holden’s sultry, expressive, and singular vocal qualities will have you hooked… [Her] prolific career as a touring singer has taken her all over the world, both as a critically-acclaimed solo artist and a much sought-after backup vocalist. Darelle has performed with legends including Stevie Wonder, Earth Wind & Fire, Bobby Caldwell, Norman Brown, and Tom Jones, who lauded her as ‘a great singer.’”
Bring your best dance moves to this party, because The Max Band will give you plenty of musical choices.
