About Max McNown
Max McNown is a country-folk artist from Bend, OR.
Max McNown is a singer and songwriter from Bend, Oregon, working in a country-leaning folk style built around acoustic guitar, plainspoken lyrics and a warm, slightly weathered vocal. His songs tend toward the reflective — family, faith, growing up and leaving home — delivered without much studio ornamentation.
Like a number of his contemporaries, McNown built an audience largely online, posting short performance clips that circulated widely before he had much of a conventional release history behind him. That grassroots following carried over into streaming numbers and, in turn, into live shows, where the material generally stays close to its acoustic origins.
