We hired Max Scialdone for our company holiday party, and he was an absolute home run. Our company is known for throwing big, over-the-top, high-energy events, and we wanted live music that could set a welcoming tone early in the night and then bring the house down later. Max delivered on every level.

He struck the perfect balance between nice background music during mingling and cocktails, then seamlessly transitioned into high-energy, crowd-pleasing songs that had people singing along, dancing, and fully engaged. The vibe was exactly what we were hoping for — fun, inclusive, and memorable for a diverse group.

Beyond the performance itself, Max was a pleasure to work with throughout the planning and setup process. He was professional, responsive, flexible, and clearly experienced with events. Everything felt easy and well thought out, which is invaluable when you’re coordinating a large event with multiple vendors.

If you’re looking for a musician who can read a room, elevate an event, and create an atmosphere people will be talking about long after the night ends, Max Scialdone is your guy. We wouldn’t hesitate to hire him again!

Max has played our annual office happy hour at Copper City Brewing for many years, and again this year. Max is always on time and excited to do what he loves. The range of music from loved Christmas Carols to Tom Petty, Fleetwood Mac and even Men at Work. Covering so many genres, and always open to requests. I get so many compliments on coordinating this party every year and, a lot of the credit goes to Max for creating an amazing atmosphere for eating, laughing and dancing. Max = Magic!

The Max Scialdone band played my father's 75th birthday party and it was an amazing performance. They played so many of my dad's favorite songs, as it was a Pink Floyd themed affair, they opened with his absolute favorite Floyd tune. It was a snow storm and their drummer couldn't make it but you couldn't even tell. The music was perfect while eating and then got the party up on its feet for hours of dancing. 100% recommend Max alone or with the band, magic everytime.

Everything was awesome! Max was very responsive before the event helping us get an idea of what to expect and helped us plan. Once they were setup and playing the music was amazing! All of his songs were crowd pleasers and everyone was dancing! We asked him ahead of time if he knew the song Me and Julio down by the School yard by Paul Simon because it was a special song for us and he did not. But he learned it specifically for our night! It was an all around an amazing experience. 10 outa 10. He’ll be playing all our parties to come!
