Meet Australian Country Music Sensation, Max Jackson

Joining me today to Spark Regional Joy, is Max Jackson, a luminary in the Australian and international Country Music scene. From the cozy town of Coonamble, NSW, to the grand stages of major Country Music festivals, Max's journey is a heartwarming tale of dreams, determination, and a voice that has become the soundtrack for many.

Max's love for country music was nurtured in Coonamble, where the melodies of touring shows and the strumming of her first guitar at the age of 5 set the stage for her future. Her move to Newcastle marked the continuation of her musical journey, with notable milestones including her participation in the CMAA Junior Academy of Country Music and the prestigious Talent Development Project in Sydney. Max's passion for songwriting blossomed, drawing inspiration from iconic artists like Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, and contemporary stars like Kacey Musgraves.

Her debut album, 'Life Of The Party', received acclaim for its artful composition and vivid storytelling, marking Max as a standout talent. The subsequent years brought accolades and recognition, with Max winning the 42nd Toyota Star Maker and earning a nomination at the Toyota 51st Golden Guitar Awards. Her partnership with Stephen White Management and collaborations with respected artists like The Wolfe Brothers signified her rising prominence in the industry.

The year 2023 was a pinnacle for Max, not only for her accolades but also for her significant signing with ABC Music. This partnership marked a new chapter in her career, amplifying her reach and impact in the music industry. Her single 'Little More Country' topped the Countrytown National Airplay Charts under this prestigious label, and her presence was felt at prestigious events like CMA Fest and SXSW. As the official Ambassador for the Tamworth Music Festival and a nominee for two Golden Guitar Awards, Max Jackson's influence and artistry are undeniable.

In today's episode, listeners will be treated to an intimate conversation with Max, exploring the melodies of her life, the stories behind her lyrics, and her vision as an artist.
