Max García Conover

With a somewhat throaty voice and commanding delivery, Max García Conover explores the personal and the political in his passionate indie folk songs. After releasing the solo EP #1 in 2011, he expanded his acoustic, guy-and-guitar sound to include touches of electric guitar on 2013's Burrow, and instruments including brass, strings, and percussion for 2014's Ellery. He partnered with singer/songwriter Haley Heynderickx on 2018's Among Horses III EP and with Ben Cosgrove on 2022's Vol. 1 EP. García Conover made his Fat Possum label debut in 2025 with What of Our Nature, a collaborative album with Heynderickx. Inspired by the life and words of Woody Guthrie, it, too, combined the personal and political, including songs that paid tribute to each songwriter's mixed heritage.
