Come see Lawrence Maxwell and Tommy Lutz live at Smokehouse Taproom in Berwick!

Lawrence Maxwell cut his teeth on beer caps, rough waters, and country music. His latest album, Ballad of Miles was nominated for seven Music PEI Awards, and in 2024, he received the award for Music PEI’s ‘Entertainer of the Year.’ With its neo-traditional production, and comparisons to both John Prine and Merle Haggard, Roots Music Canada has dubbed the record “the first great Canadian alt-country album of the year.” His songs have received airplay on: Sirius XM’s ‘Top of the Country,’ Country Hits Radio UK and CBC ‘Q’. His song, “Blackout Curtain” reached number one in the Canadian Indie Country Countdown radio charts. Having completed his first series of international performances at Tønder Festival in Denmark and Manchester Folk Festival in the UK, Maxwell is expanding his audience as he exports into new markets. As an ECMA award nominee and four-time Music P.E.I. award winner, this Prince Edward Island singer-songwriter will tell it to you like it’s folk, and sing it to you like it’s country.
