He is known well to fans of the indie, folk and alternative music spheres here in the Land of Enchantment and across the country. A native of Northern New Mexico who was raised in Taos, Max Gomez is a folk and Americana artist who has worked with some of the industry’s notable singer-songwriters like Michael Martin Murphey and Ray Wylie Hubbard. His passion for making music, which started from an early age, has earned him over four million listens on Spotify for his song “Make It Me” and lead to his latest big achievement — a new, independent album coming out Aug. 29.    

Gomez joins “Conversations Different” to discuss the making of his new album Memory Mountain, whose title song was co-written with Michael Martin Murphey, and to reflect on what it was like growing up in Taos and participating in the local music scene there.  

Gomez will be performing in Santa Fe at Tumbleroot Brewery & Distillery on Aug. 28. For more information about the event and album release, visit his website maxgomezmusic.com.
