Max is a pillar of Northern Colorado music, a musician since age 19 and unrelenting champion of the underdog. When asked what music means to him, Max says: "Music has wrapped me up, brought me to the staggering tops of mountains, and to the quiet comfort of the ocean. It's carried me through the hardest times in my life, reminding me that my character and my creativity are always my own. I owe a lot to music, and every day I get to share it is a gift."
