Short bio:
Max García Conover is a songwriter from the burned-over district of New York, now based in Maine. In the past he's collaborated with Son Canciones, Haley Heynderickx, Ben Cosgrove, Paula Prieto, The Ballroom Thieves, and Julie Arsenault. In between songs he tells stories and those stories have been featured on The Moth Radio Hour and Stories From The Stage.
“Timeless and utterly current...as much Woody Guthrie as Chance the Rapper.”
“Man this is some gorgeous stuff. Conover is a hell of a fingerstyle guitarist and he has an arresting vocal style, with a ton of presence.”
“Springsteen-esque at points, yet soaked in an almost John Hughes sense of romanticism...These are songs with real heart and character, that demand repeated listens.”
“...Genuine and true and [hits] home in a way similar to other folk greats such as Iron and Wine.”
“One of the strongest albums of the year.”
