Timeline

1965

Thomas Edward Maxwell (born September 19, 1965) is an American songwriter, singer, and musician.

Most notably, Maxwell is the former lead singer of the swing revival band Squirrel Nut Zippers.

Thomas Edward Maxwell was born to Joseph Maxwell and Nancy (Miller) Maxwell in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, in September 1965.

1972

In 1972, their family moved to Burnsville.

In elementary school, Maxwell began playing alto sax, and at the age of 14, he taught himself to play the drums.

When he was seventeen he left home to go to the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he started his first band, Teasing the Korean, with fellow UNC classmate John Ensslin.

1990

In 1990, Teasing the Korean became What Peggy Wants, and they were signed to a local Chapel Hill label, Moist/Baited Breath.

1992

In 1992, until Metal Flake Mother disbanded, Mathus became lead guitarist and Maxwell briefly joined as the band's drummer.

1993

In December 1993, What Peggy Wants broke up.

During his time in What Peggy Wants, Maxwell befriended Metal Flake Mother drummer Jimbo Mathus.

In 1993, Mathus, along with Mathus' then girlfriend Katherine Whalen, Ken Mosher, Don Raleigh, and Chris Phillips, formed the neo-swing, pre-war jazz revival group Squirrel Nut Zippers.

They played a couple of local shows and recorded a three-track EP on Merge Records, Roasted Right.

1994

In January 1994, Maxwell was asked to join the band.

The band signed with Mammoth Records in the summer of 1994.

They recorded their first record, The Inevitable, a few months later in Hillsborough, North Carolina.

1995

In the summer of 1995, Maxwell, Mosher, and Mathus took a trip to New Orleans, Louisiana to visit their friend, Blind Melon drummer Glen Graham.

Graham had been recording Soup with Blind Melon at Daniel Lanois' Kingsway Studios earlier that year.

In October 1995, the band went to New Orleans to record the Hot album at Kingsway Studios.

They produced the record with the help of Mike Napolitano.

1996

He wrote the single "Hell" from the 1996 platinum-certified album Hot.

They recorded Hot in six days, and the record was released in June 1996.

1997

The record went certified gold in May 1997, and by September of that year it was RIAA certified platinum, selling over 1.3 million copies.

They had a hit with Maxwell's song "Hell", a single tone calypso about Hell.

That year it charted at No. 13 on Billboard Hot 100.

1999

In 1999, Tom Maxwell and Ken Mosher both left the band, due to a management agreement that the band had signed without their knowledge.

The band refused to pay royalties to either of them, which led to a five-year legal battle.

They settled out of court for $155,000, but the band breached the settlement and the two were only awarded a fraction of the money.

This led to an irreparable relationship between Maxwell/Mosher and Mathus/Whalen.

In 1999, Maxwell recorded his first solo album, Samsara, at Kingsway Studios.

He toured for the record with SNZ members Ken Mosher and Chris Phillips, along with Ben Folds Five bassist Robert Sledge.

2000

Through the legal turmoil with SNZ and the birth of his first child, Maxwell stopped touring in 2000, and did not tour again until 2015.

For several years following their departure from the band, he worked with Ken Mosher, contributing songs and scores for films and television, including season 1 of Lovespring International and the animated film Happily N'ever After.

2006

In 2006, just days after he and his first wife separated, Maxwell's three-year-old son was diagnosed with leukemia.

Maxwell retreated from his musical career and focused on shepherding his son through a three-and-a-half-year treatment.

2009

His son made a full recovery and, in 2009, Maxwell returned to music.

2011

In 2011, he released his first studio album in over a decade, Kingdom Come.

2014

In 2014, Maxwell released his first record with The Minor Drag, Tom Maxwell & The Minor Drag, produced by longtime producer Mike Napolitano.

Maxwell also wrote a memoir titled Hell – My Life In the Squirrel Nut Zippers, in which he talks about his experience in the band, his time on the road, and the recording of the band's albums.

2015

In late December 2015, Maxwell published a piece on Medium explaining why he will not be a part of the Squirrel Nut Zipper's tour in late-2016.

The band plans to reissue Hot for its 20-year anniversary, for which 1/3 of the record's material was written by Maxwell and Mosher, including both singles which were penned by Maxwell.
