"honey, I know it's wrong to want it all, want it all now..."
There is something so exquisitely vast, Americana and romantic about Max MacLaury's folk chamber pop rocker "Cut From the Same Cloth". You can feel the amount of miles traveled, the wanderlust in the heart, the desert dust painted on shit kickers, and the feral passion on display in the strident western guitar strums, crazy drumming and especially MacLaury's wailing croon. His captivating vocal presence feels so classic. Along with the musical motif that this production crafts you feel a nostalgic hard pull in his resonant big voiced croon. You think of singers like Roy Orbison, even Elvis pushing a sort of Springsteen heartland rock tone with a haunting patina of Glen Campbell and Jimmy Webb. Beautiful stuff, classic forever. So classic that "Cut From the Same Cloth" will turn heads within any playlist.

Max MacLaury is inspired by the old jazz crooners and folk songwriters. Paving a path as a strong vocalist and songwriter, Max began creating his own sound. He has been recognized in his community on the Central Coast as a strong songwriter where he won “Best Performance” and “Best Song” in multiple songwriting competitions.
He has been described as “a crooner with a folk guitar.” But don’t let the carefree attitude that is conveyed in his songs fool you. There is urgency in his voice with lyrics that have a relatable honesty. His voice floats over the raw sound of his acoustic guitar and blends with the warm tone of electric guitar that is reminiscent of the Tulsa Sound. Max MacLaury takes a page from the great musicians before him. You can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia while listening to his music.
After years of releasing self produced and recorded albums, Max MacLaury teamed up with a local sound engineer/ drummer, Graham Ginsburg and lead guitarist, Chris Stephens. The latest release from Max MacLaury is called “I Don’t Wanna Talk About It” and will be available 5/7. The album shows passion and a sound that ranges from 1970s folk rock to modern rock neo-psychedelia.
