D. C. Maxwell is an alt-country singer-songwriter from TÄmaki Makaurau, New Zealand.
With the frenetic energy of a punk preacher, Maxwell puts a new spin on the 1970s outlaw country of Lee Hazlewood and Townes Van Zandt.
A troubadour, a magnetic performer, but foremost a storyteller, Maxwellâs live show seeâs him physically embody each of his songâs characters with passion. The mosaic of his songs creates a world of love and loss in roadside motel rooms, and the inner lives of small town dreamers majestic as the plains.
Called âindisputably one of TÄmaki Makaurauâs hottest rising talentsâ by Under the Radar magazine in 2022.
He managed to play several sell out shows across the country, and opened for Future Islands on their New Zealand tour all without releasing a single.
D. C. Maxwell is the former front-man of punk band Roidz (Danger Collective Records) active from 2016-2019 and known for their electrifying live performances.
