MAXWELL LANDRY

His heart on his sleeve, Maxwell Landry does his darnedest to live out his own lyrics. His eclectic mix of Laurel Canyon-esque singer/songwriter and country rock is accented by his 21st-century lead-poisoned indie and alternative tendencies. Maxwell’s signature shines in all aspects of his artistry, from introspective and occasionally insouciant lyrics, to analog and lo-fidelity inspired production, with jazz-informed harmony and melodies refined down in New Orleans at top music school Loyola University. His visual image and style is that of a well-traveled midwesterner who’s no stranger to the American South and West Coast. Whether in an honest piano ballad or the snarky twang of a guitar-driven rocker,  Maxwell always hits close to home with his familiar, universal artwork.
