Tom Maxwell is best known as the former singer of the neo-swing band Squirrel Nut Zippers, who burst into the popular consciousness in 1996 with their hit single, “Hell.” Maxwell left SZN in 1999 and has been in self-described “semi-retirement” since. But now he’s back with a swingin’ new band, Tom Maxwell & the Minor Drag, and an eponymous record. He’s also got a new memoir, My Life in Hell. By turns heart wrenching and hilarious, the book details the unlikely rise and perhaps inevitable fall of the Zippers. Catch Tom Maxwell & the Minor Drag at Club Metronome in Burlington this Friday, February 20, with local songwriter Abby Morin
