The Max Klau Band plays smart, soulful folk music that rocks. "Wisdom" is the bandâs first full album, and it captures Maxâs thoughtful lyrics and the improvisational energy of the bandâs live shows.

Many artists today sing about brotherhood and unity with a false sense of honesty. Max, however, has tried his best to walk the talk. A true man of the world, his commitment to making the world a better place has taken him to Israel, Ghana, Honduras, Ukraine, Egypt, Greece and elsewhere. These real-life adventures have inspired and influenced his music for over 15 years.

Klau spent many years playing saxophone in rock bands (heâs still known as âMax on Saxâ in some circles). It was during college that he grew weary of playing horn solos over other peopleâs songs. Rather than quit, he picked up a guitar and taught himself how to play the riffâs he heard in his head. He continued practicing as he travelled the globe.

In 2007, Klau, now settled in Boston, sat down with bassist Andrew Berne for the first rehearsals of what would become the Max Klau Band. The duo soon added violinist Katie Quann, keyboardist Bill Champitto and drummer Marcus Stewart to create The Max Klau Band.

In just over two years of playing the clubs of Boston, MKB has built an enthusiastic base of fans who appreciate great musicianship, quality songwriting and energetic live shows. Fans eat up their Dave Matthews Band Alternative/Folk via Van Morrison style. The band is that rare combination of catchy, intelligent hooks, soulful lyrics and musical sophistication thatâs too good to pass up.
