Max Gomez was born and raised in Taos, New Mexico, where he fell under the influence of country and blues singer-songwriters at an early age. After becoming a fixture in the New Mexico music scene, Gomez left home to pursue a broader horizon. His debut album, Rule the World (New West Records), earned critical acclaim and launched a touring career that has taken him coast to coast across the U.S., into Canada, and throughout Western Europe.

In August of last year, Gomez released Memory Mountain, produced by Mark Howard. The album debuted at #1 on the Alt-Country Radio Chart, further solidifying his reputation for timeless, resonant songwriting. His interim EP, Me and Joe, featuring the now-beloved track “Make It Me,” has surpassed five million streams on Spotify alone. Praised by Rolling Stone and No Depression as an emerging voice in Americana, Memory Mountain affirms that distinction with depth and charm.

Over the years, Gomez has shared the stage with artists across genres, including James McMurtry, Buddy Miller, John Hiatt, Patty Griffin, Tommy James & The Shondells, Jeff Beck, and Johnny Depp. Judging by the company he keeps—and the work he continues to create, Max Gomez remains one of Americana’s most compelling and authentic voices.
