Max McNown has quickly become one of country music's fastest-rising stars, breaking through with the viral success of "A Lot More Free." Since then, the Oregon native has released two albums, headlined sold-out tours, and built one of the fastest-growing audiences among emerging country artists. With songwriting rooted in Americana and the Pacific Northwest, McNown's music reflects a sense of exploration and authenticity that aligns naturally with Destination Defender, offering an intimate performance from one of country's most exciting new voices.
McNown is currently headlining 1,000–2,500-capacity clubs and theaters across North America, with stops at venues including The Salt Shed in Chicago and The Old Saloon in Montana. He has also joined Parker McCollum as support on tour, continuing to expand his reach as one of country music’s most promising young live acts.
