Max Gomez and Shannon McNally
CL RECOMMENDS
CRITIC’S PICK:
Thurs., Sept. 4
Shannon McNally, Max Gomez, Red Clay — Americana singer/songwriter McNally, fresh from an opening slot last month with Blackberry Smoke, returns to showcase her wonderfully smoky voice and terrific, rootsy songs. She’s a 25-year veteran who has combined country, blues, swamp rock and elements of pop into her own cosmic American music. McNally has a new EP she’ll be previewing and a single covering JJ Cale’s iconic “After Midnight” that nails the song’s laconic vibe. Opener Gomez works a more folk-oriented style and once wrote songs with local hero Shawn Mullins. He pays tribute to his hometown on recent protest tune “New Mexico” from a forthcoming Memory Mountain album. — Hal Horowitz
From the venue:
MAX GOMEZ
Singer/Songwriter Max Gomez grew up in Taos, New Mexico, where he fell under the influence of country blues early on and developed a songwriting style that was uniquely his.
Grammy nominee Shannon McNally’s live music career began on the jam band circuit of the 1990s with bands like Derek Trucks and Railroad Earth. Since then, her catalog has grown to span the whole of the Americana music spectrum, both writing original songs as well as interpreting the songs of others. She brings a soul-stirring musicality to her craft. Her honest and, at times, elegant voice immediately grabs one by the heartstrings. Not to mention as it turns out, she is also an exceptional electric guitar player.
