Event Description
Westport’s own Max Zaska brings his electrifying 7-piece modern soul-jazz band to The Clock Tavern for a night of unstoppable grooves and uplifting energy. A guitarist, songwriter, bandleader, and producer, Zaska is internationally recognised for his collaborations with some of Ireland’s finest vocalists, including Hozier.
Blending the spirit of soul, funk, R&B, and jazz, ZASKA’s high-energy shows have been described as “masterful,” “incomparable,” and “joyous.” From Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club in London to major festivals in Prague and Cork, Zaska has earned a reputation for live performances that radiate optimism and leave audiences buzzing.
For Westival, the full powerhouse lineup takes to the stage: Max Zaska (guitar), Jess Kav (vocals), Paul Kiernan (trumpet), Denis Scully (sax), Luke Howard (keys), Dara Abdurahman (bass), and Ryan McClelland (drums). Expect an unforgettable night of world-class musicianship, infectious rhythm, and the unmistakable pride of Westport talent.
Looking ahead, ZASKA’s forthcoming album ‘NECTAR’ is set for a 2026 digital release and features an all-star lineup of collaborators including Gemma Dunleavy, Melina Malone, Toshín, and Precious Okpaje. Fans don’t have to wait though, CD and vinyl copies are available to order now atzaskamusic.com
