MAX GOMEZ

When he’s not on the road, Max Gomez splits his time between his beloved hometown of Taos and Los Angeles. He apprenticed in the rarefied musical micro-climate of northern New Mexico, where troubadours like Michael Martin Murphey and Ray Wylie Hubbard helped foster a Western folk sound both cosmic and cowboy.  Gomez has assumed stewardship of that lineage by producing the Red River Folk Festival, a boutique event held annually in the musical mountain village of Red River, NM.

Gomez received critical acclaim for his 2013 debut Rule The World, and 2017’s Me and Joe (which gained over two million listeners on Spotify alone). Gomez is focused on finishing a new album, featuring a classic-and-contemporary reading of Dylan’s “He Was a Friend of Mine,” and touring again after the worldwide pandemic. He has shared billing on hundreds of stages with stalwarts of the genre like Shawn Mullins, James McMurtry, Buddy Miller, Jim Lauderdale, Patty Griffin, and John Hiatt.

We’re always jazzed to welcome Max back to NM stages.
