Society Hall, at 400 Ross Avenue in Alamosa, is pleased to welcome back northern New Mexico native Max Gomez on Tuesday December 22nd as part of his winter tour. Doors will open at 6:00 pm with the show beginning at 7:00 pm. Tickets are $20 and are available the link below or in Alamosa at The Green Spot, 711 State Avenue.
Singer/Songwriter Max Gomez grew up in Taos, New Mexico, where he fell under the influence of country blues early on and developed a songwriting style that was uniquely his. He received critical acclaim upon the release of his debut album Rule The World (2013, New West Records); and his subsequent EP, Me and Joe (2017, Brigadoon Records), contained a freshly minted classic, “Make It Me,” which has gained over 4 million listeners on Spotify alone.
As a budding performer, Max apprenticed in the rarefied musical micro-climate of northern New Mexico, where troubadours like Michael Martin Murphey and Ray Wylie Hubbard helped foster a Western folk sound both cosmic and country. Max reports that growing up in Taos was, “… wild. It’s still the Wild West compared to any city or suburb. You can get away with just about anything there, and we were turned loose as kids.” At 14, when Gomez performed at a benefit concert, he played “Sunday Mornin’ Coming Down”, the down-and-out classic by future labelmate Kris Kristofferson. Soon thereafter he was playing at a late, lamented institution of a venue called the Old Blinking Light. “The school I went to was playing in that bar,” he says. Country greats like Mentor Williams and Lynn Anderson frequented the place that led them to become fans of his music.
Gomez moved to Los Angeles at 18 to pursue his music career and began writing songs and performing around the city at many notable clubs. He wrote some songs with Shawn Mullins, who later recorded them. “That’s when I began taking it all a little more seriously and turned my music into a job,” says Gomez. In his early twenties he began recording his own songs with producers in New York, L.A., and Nashville. His debut album, Rule the World, was released in 2013 by New West Records, home to the likes of John Hiatt, Buddy Miller, and Steve Earle. Soon after, Kiefer Sutherland directed the music video for the single “Run From You.”
Max followed Rule the World with his EP Me and Joe, containing the single “Make It Me”, which has received over 4 million streams on Spotify. He released his follow up album Memory Mountain in 2025.
Gomez grew up in a rich musical environment, but represents more than the sum of his influences—he’s got that ineffable and instantly recognizable x-factor called talent. Melodies that flow naturally. Trenchant lyrics that express wise-beyond-his-years observations on the ways of the heart. Laconic phrasing in a cafe mocha timbre, and guitar skills that can stand alone. In short: the whole package.
Judging by the company he keeps, Gomez is positioned to emerge as a prominent voice of Americana’s next generation. Max has shared billing on hundreds of stages with stalwarts of the genre like Shawn Mullins, James McMurtry, Buddy Miller, Jim Lauderdale, Patty Griffin, Johnny Depp, Jeff Beck, and John Hiatt.
