"I  have been fortunate to hear Max sing and play on a few occasions.  Each time I am more impressed with his voice and guitar work.  Looking forward to hearing more great things from this young man."

"For the past two years Max Phillips has volunteered to play at an Acoustic Night that I help to organize at Osler Bluff Ski Club. Each time he has played, Max has won over the crowd with his incredible covers (Johnny Cash, Black Label Society etc.) and as well his on stage professionalism. I would have no hesitation in recommending Max and wish him all the success in the future."
