Max McNown

Named as Billboard’s Country Rookie of the Month and CMT’s Next Up Now feature artist in 2024, Max McNown is on a huge upward trajectory. These accolades followed the release of McNown’s debut album Wandering in April, which received critical acclaim from the likes of Holler, American Songwriter and People Magazine. Featuring breakout track ‘A Lot More Free’, which earned him the #1 spot on Billboard’s Emerging Artists Chart and #1 on the TikTok Breakthrough Chart, the track recently saw a resurgence following a viral TikTok video celebrating its one-year anniversary.

A talent for creating the kind of songs that perfectly soundtrack our most intimate moments, Max McNown has become one of the most talked about rising country stars, his music exploring everything from intense heartache and tremendous loss to immense upheaval and life-changing revelation. Busking on a pier in Southern California after teaching himself to learn guitar in just a year, the Oregon-born, Nashville-based musician blew people away with his incredible vocals and live performances. Posting his busking videos to TikTok, this was the platform where Max made his impact, earning him a legion of fans across the globe and thrusting him into the spotlight.

Following a string of successful EP releases, Max released his sophomore album Night Diving on January 24 (via Fugitive Recordings x The Orchard ) with lead single ‘Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)’ released at the close of 2024, Max continues to impress fans and critics.

Determined to follow his own path on his terms, Max McNown is one to be on everybody’s radar. Don’t miss what will be incredibly special debut shows across Australia and New Zealand this May.
