Half Maxx live at Dazzle October 17th at 10:00PM

Tickets available at dazzldenver.com

Musical Style: Funk

Half Maxx is a Denver funk/fusion band born from many late-night jam sessions. Featuring Max Palzewicz a/k/a "Max on Sax" on tenor sax, keys, and lead vocals, Joe Gallo on electric guitar, Teo Vanovski on drums, and Max Hass on bass and vocals, this four-piece band is half Max, half not…and all funk. The band has made a statement in the Denver music scene since its debut show in March 2022. Half Maxx's sound, with sets that include original songs and unique approaches to familiar songs, is rooted in the musicians' jazz and funk training, and blends in elements of R&B and rock to get audiences listening closely while also dancing and singing along. Half Maxx has supported touring acts such as Garaj Mahal, Mike Dillon and Punkadelic, and Kick the Cat at Cervantes' Other Side, played two nights back-to-back at Sheridan Opera House in Telluride, and performed alongside other Denver artists at Globe Hall, Your Mom's House, Enigma Bazaar, and others. The members of Half Maxx are also deeply involved in the local music scene, actively participating in the many jam sessions around Denver and performing regularly with Dzirae Gold, Jesh Yancey & the High Hopes, Britt Devens, Danette Hollowell, Jason Brandt & the Build-Out, and many more.

In 2023, Half Maxx released its debut recording, an EP titled Electricity, containing three originals - two featuring Max Palzewicz on lead vocals - and an instrumental cover of Janet Jackson's "Any Time, Any Place." The band is currently writing new material.

Good morning! It’s show day! And guest #8 is @keddjra! We connected with Keddjra when she was lead vocalist for People In Between, and we’ve been in awe as we’ve watched her take some big stages as a guest and, more recently, with her own band. She’ll be singing a few fun tunes with us, so please come down to @larimerlounge TODAY to come see what she’s bringing to the show tonight. You can also catch her band playing a *headlining* set at @lostlakedenver tomorrow 12/1!
.
Tickets still available at the venue’s box office (link in bio) OR you can grab them at the door! Can’t wait to see you all in a few hours!

Guests #5 and #6 are one of our favorite musical power couples in Denver - @tianakissedafrog and @dylangleit! We’ve crossed paths with these two in so many ways over the last 4 years, there’s so much we could say. But we’ll let their music speak for itself. Come see these two in action with us TOMORROW (Sat) 11/30 at @larimerlounge.

Guest #3 of ___ for the 2nd Annual Half Maxx & Friends show: the one and only @danette.hollowell.music! Max H started playing in Danette’s band a few years back on a very last minute gig, and started bringing her around to sing with us at most of our shows over the last two years - for at least one or two crowd favorites. We’ll be bringing Danette up again to sing a few with us, including some you might not have heard before or in a long time. Come take a listen at @larimerlounge on Saturday 11/30 for our favorite show of the year!
.
Advance tickets are still available fee-free via Venmo or other methods directly from the band, or hit the link in our bio to purchase from the Larimer Lounge box office.
.
We’ll see you in 8 days! In the meantime, enjoy the weekend and some much-needed family time 🦃☺️
