Reverend Max Woolaver is one of the most compelling Canadian singer/songwriters working in Canada today.
Max's new CD THE INNOCENCE will be released on November 22
A CD of songs from the heart and soul.
Deep with meaning and intent.
Powerful, moving, and picturesque.
Any evening with Max Woolaver takes the listener across the psychic terrain of our current times through the medium of powerfully crafted and lyrically charged songs - from ripping bluegrass and poignant ballads to dark rocking songs.
Audiences respond enthusiastically to his ‘instant’ songs, biting humour, great on stage band vibe and obvious, reckless joy in performance. His warm character and deep energy conjured up and communicated by the remarkable poetic quality and naked sincerity of the songs make any evening with the Max Woolaver Band more than great night out - but an encounter with a true, insightful, and significant Canadian talent.
“Songs of brilliance and beauty...a Leonard Cohen meets Dylan saga of a whistle stop on Desolation Row.â€
Fredericton Gleaner
Max has been featured on all major roots radio stations in Toronto, CBC Radio,Toronto and Ottawa, and over 25 appearances on CTV’s Toronto affiliate. Max was noted as Pick of the Writer’s Nights at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville Tennessee.

Bob Snider
“The audience favourite and the standout performance of the series was Max Woolaver...It was heartening to see such a warm and enthusiastic reception for an artist who was from out of town and completely unknown to the audience prior to the set. the entire room was buzzing with praise for Max’s strong stage performance and moving songs, as well as the exceptional musicianship of the band...â€
