Max Gomez

Saturday Feb 24, 7pm doors at 6:30, $35/30

Max Gomez is an American singer-songwriter and musician based in Taos, New Mexico and has been compared to John Prine and Jackson Browne because of his seasoned blend of folk and Americana.

As a child, Gomez was influenced by the country and blues sounds of Big Bill Broonzy and Johnny Cash. After getting a guitar as a Christmas present when he was 10 years old, Gomez started performing in local bars throughout New Mexico. Gomez caught the eye of  folk-rocker Shawn Mullins after sending Mullins some of his music. The two soon collaborated, co-writing a handful of songs that would appear on Mullins’ next two albums, and touring throughout the U.S. together as young Gomez built up a fan base opening for the musical veteran.

Gomez is approaching a long-awaited new music release. He has won audiences over through his previous recordings, 2013’s Rule The World and his 2017 EP Me & Joe, in addition to covers of timeless standards like Key To The Highway and He Was A Friend Of Mine. With evocative folk-influenced tracks such as Make It Me, Run From You, and What It Means, Gomez has continued to show his depth of ability as a singer-songwriter and storyteller.

Over the years, Gomez has collaborated with numerous music luminaries, and in late 2022, Gomez was the supporting act for several shows of Jeff Beck and Johnny Depp’s North American tour, which he calls “a memorable and inspiring experience.”
