New from Max Swan: Heaven Is...Slow Jail (Live from The Church Part 1) coming May 6

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., (May 6, 2022) - 2021 was a successful year for Philadelphia-based musician and producer Max Swan. After a several-year hiatus, Swan made his triumphant return with the release of his sophomore studio album Slow Jail in October 2021. 

The album was met with critical acclaim from international press and spent time in the top five tracks of the coveted RnB Radar list. As a classically-trained jazz musician, however, Swan is best known for his dynamic live performances and knew there was more to be done with Slow Jail.

The project — filmed and recorded live from St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Philadelphia — is a celebration of local talent, featuring Swan accompanied by local musicians Simon Martinez on guitar, Nick Perri on bass and Lionel Forrester Jr. on drums, and with audio captured by local musician Thantophobe.

Accompanying the musical EP will be intimate videos from the recording sessions, featuring the most popular songs from the record, such as "Woohoo," "Change your Mind" and "Someday." Videography for the session was captured by visual artists Chris White and Mike Ryan, the creative team behind Swan's music videos for tracks "Leanin'" and "Slow Jail."
