MAX GOMEZ

A true New Mexico musical gem, Max Gomez splits his time between his beloved hometown of Taos and Los Angeles, when he’s not on the road touring. 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.

He received critical acclaim for his debut Rule The World (2013, New West Records); and his subsequent EP, Me and Joe (2017, Brigadoon Records). The latter features a beautifully crafted classic, “Make It Me,” which boasts more than 4 million Spotify listeners and counting. Gomez recently scored with a killer version of Dylan’s “He Was a Friend of Mine.” He has shared billing on hundreds of stages with stalwarts of the genre like Shawn Mullins, James McMurtry, Buddy Miller, Patty Griffin, and John Hiatt.

We’re always jazzed to welcome Max back.
