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.
