Hammered dulcimer player Max ZT and singer/songwriter Dan Whitehouse

Max ZT & Dan Whitehouse TEN STEPS

New York’s Grammy nominated Max ZT (House of Waters), and Tokyo/Black Country’s lauded Dan Whitehouse combine their inventive energy to create stunning live performances. ZT, the hammered dulcimer player compared to Hendrix, and the ever-regenerating Whitehouse weave spoken word, song and virtuoso playing to create impactful (often improvised) pieces with a belief in the healing power of music at its core.

Tackling subjects as wide-ranging as fatherhood, practicing golf swings as a metaphor for life, the way the Japanese sunlight bounces off buildings “like God’s graffiti”, and the US withdrawal from Afghanistan, the duo will perform music from their acclaimed album Ten Steps (recorded between New York City and Tokyo) as well as solo pieces and music created in the moment.

“Gorgeous… and intriguing” The Guardian

“…both extraordinary and beautiful” KLOF MAG

“Sublime…” At The Barrier Lauded innovator

Max ZT takes his roots from Irish folk music and has created complex and beautiful compositions expanding that influence through studying in Senegal with the Cissoko Griot family and in India where he studied under the santoor master Pandit Shivkumar Sharma.

Dan Whitehouse has, across nine albums, gained a golden reputation as “a fine songwriter, a unique vocal talent and a talented multi-instrumentalist/performer” Maverick, and “wonderful” BBC 6 Music.
