"His songs are well polished & well structured. Max has a great voice & knows his way around the guitar too."

- Mike Cook, Redeeming Features Music,

Max is a singer/songwriter originally from, Washington DC currently spreading his intelligent, melodic tunes and planting roots in Nashville, Tennessee. Contrary to popular belief Nashville is not just a country Town and Max Boozer's followers are the proof in the pudding. I discovered this modern day Billy Joel with puppy dog eyes on the local Nashville Scene. His music is thoughtful and romantic, John Mayer like, without the bad boy persona. His brand new CD Strange Bedfellows is in Max's own words, "the soundtrack to the post-college, pre-real-life phase I am in the midst of. I knew from an early age that I was not going to be good at the straight down the middle, "baby, baby, I love you" songs, so I had to try something different. As a DIY artist, I face the possibility, everyday, of falling short of that and leading an entirely unspectacular life. This album is a testament to avoiding the pitfalls of self-pity and inaction-- a tilting at windmills, if you like." I personally fell in love with the song Nicole Alone. This is his sophomore album and follow up to his first titled Self Titled. Strange Bedfellows CD release will be Jan. 4th 2010. I put Mr. Beizer on my list because he has charm and I wouldn't mind him serenading me. You can find out more about Max at: http://www.maxbeizer.com.

Max Beizer is a name I’ve seen many times around town… and if you’re wondering, it rhymes with visor, per the artist’s website. He was a regular at Music Society Nashville, and has played at the Basement’s New Faces Night. His first, self-titled CD came out in 2004, which means Beizer is hardly a new face anymore.

The DC native started playing guitar at age 11, and says his first song… about cleaning his room… was written at age 13. Not overly interested in “straight down the middle” love songs, Beizer’s songs still take on some quirky topics. He came to Nashville to attend Vanderbilt University and has made his home in Music City.

His latest release is called Strange Bedfellows. Beizer worked on the album here, and used friends and frequent collaborators in lieu of hired musicians. The 9 tracks deal with being alone, coping with reality, angry neighbors, and what Beizer calls “the post-college, pre-real-life phase.” You can take a listen to the complete songs online here.

In his own words:

“Mostly, this album is about the struggle to accept (and one day overcome) the fear that we, as people, may not do great things our lives. Every artist wants to reach people… to better the lives of others through his medium. As a DIY artist, I face the possibility, everyday, of falling short of that and leading an entirely unspectacular life. This album is a testament to avoiding the pitfalls of self-pity and inaction.”
