Max McNown sits down with Ben to talk about his extraordinary story, and just how much life has changed for him in the last three years; from singing publicly for the first time on a pier in South California, to headlining his own tours, having a viral hit, and notching up over 10 million monthly listens on Spotify!

As ever, we get to know Max through the places that have made him who he is, including the wilds of Bend, Oregon, Southern California where the whole trajectory of his life was changed, and Nashville, the place he now calls home. 

This conversation covers everything from the role models that have shaped him into the old soul he is today, to the challenges of growing up and feeling lost as a teenager; finding confidence through singing and healing through songwriting, to the real life experience that inspired his break out hit A Lot More Free and why it changed his life in more ways than one. 

Check out the tracks discussed in Max’s episode on our specially curated playlist, the Country Roads Podcast Playlist on Spotify.
