The record debut of Canadian Country Hope Damien Maze is titled “Long Way Home” – A homecoming that offers classic modern country, straightforward, sentimental and catchy.

Based on these professional ingredients, the 28-year-old Damien Maze unfolds a vocal sovereignty that immediately reminds the astonished listener of Kenny Chesney. From the sound color the two go smoothly as look- ups sound-alike – for the young Damien Maze everything but a bad reference.

But it is not just the warm voice that reminds of Chesney. Also in terms of attitude and casualness, the Canadian newcomer can take on the country star. Even when it comes to a ballad with the necessary portion of feeling and melancholy. A great achievement for a rookie.
