Max García Conover was studying to be a political speechwriter when he decided to leave Maine and move into his great grandparents long-abandoned apartment in Puerto Rico. Unable to find work in San Juan, he started playing music for tips on the street, making up his own songs once he'd exhausted his 3-song repertoire of Dylan covers. That was eight years ago and he's been writing and performing nonstop ever since, playing 200 shows across the US & Canada in 2015, sharing the stage with bands like Frontier Ruckus & Lake Street Dive, and releasing a new song + video every week.

Man this is some gorgeous stuff. Conover is a hell of a fingerstyle guitarist and he has an arresting vocal style, with a ton of presence.
