Event Description
(If you’re buying tickets to main evening shows at Mermaid, Bray Town Hall or Whale Theatre in Greystones, admissions to these concerts is at a reduced price).
Max Zaska is a guitarist, songwriter, and producer best known for his feel-good blend of modern funk, neo-soul, and indie jazz.
With his band, ZASKA, Max brings his original songs to life with a verve and enthusiasm that is infectious. He’s performed and recorded over the past decade a dizzying array of Irish talent, ranging from Hozier, who was his first vocalist, to Wyvern Lingo, Loah, Tolu Kakay, Jess Kav, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Little Green Cars and Denise Chaila.
Bray born and raised and now living in the midlands, Max Zaska makes a welcome return to his home town and to this year’s 25th Bray Jazz, where he’ll play songs from his eagerly awaited new album.
He exudes breezy optimism, plays with a smile on his face, and leads a tight big band that’s part funk, part jazz and part RnB, the overall concoction serving up rich slabs of what Max Zaska himself describes as “future soul.”
“…a refreshing sense of fun and mischief, who isn’t afraid to go deep” – The Irish Times.

Venue Information - Frank Duff’s
Frank Duff’s has been an iconic landmark on Bray Main Street with a history of serving locals for over 75 years. Family-owned and run by the Duff family, it was always a comfortable and welcoming pub. In September 2021, Frank Duff’s was passed onto the Duggan Family and the iconic bar and lounge was sympathetically renovated and new life was brought into the design and overall space inside and out.
