Max Wellman: Live with his Big Band On Sale June 4
Tickets for Max Wellman: Live with his Big Band go on sale to the public Friday, June 4 at 10 a.m. This one-of-a-kind concert takes place Saturday, July 31 at 8 p.m. at Hoyt Sherman Place. Tickets can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com and at the Hoyt Sherman box office (515)244-0507.
In this concert, local jazz sensation Max Wellman will perform favorite jazz standards along with original pieces composed by the young singer himself. Performing alongside Wellman will be an 18-piece big band comprised of all local musicians. Local jazz/pop favorite Roxi Copland will join Wellman, and the Big Band will perform all original arrangements created by Dave Rezek and Max Wellman.
The concert will be recorded by Capp Audio Productions and will be released as Wellman’s second full album in August 2010.
At only 18, Wellman has made quite a mark on the local music scene. In 2006 he released Gimme the Keys, an EP comprised of five covers including fan-favorite “You Don’t Know Me.” With influences ranging from Ella Fitzgerald to his local mentor Roxi Copland & a voice that evokes jazz legends, Wellman has become a mainstay on the live jazz scene as front man for assorted combos. His growing resume is highlighted so far by the chance to open for Grammy nominee Vanessa Carlton as part of Des Moines’ Nitefall on the River series. Wellman has also headlined for Des Moines’ Jazz in July series, the Des Moines Art Festival, and many other signature events. His first full-length album, Comes Love, was released in May 2009 and is available for purchase on iTunes, CDBaby and at several local venues.
A 2009 graduate of Roosevelt High School, Wellman is studying Vocal Performance and Jazz Studies at the Jordan School of Fine Arts at Butler University.
