Inspired by Maxwell Golden's time growing up in the coastal community of Bude, Cornwall, CountryBoy's Struggle is about what it's like living in a rural area and wanting to make urban music, then moving to the city and finding it's not what you expected - especially when your heart and soul is on the golden beaches and with the community you grew up in.

CountryBoy's Struggle is written by and starring Maxwell Golden and directed by Baba Israel, Artistic Director of Contact and Richard Ramchurn of AlbinoMosquito, with music by Danbeats.
