Max Minardi is an internationally traveled singer-songwriter based in Chico, California who has performed across the Western United States since 2012 playing an average of 200 shows every year. Reminiscent of artists like James Taylor, The Avett Brothers, and John Mayer, Minardi uses clever lyrics and live looping with modern folky guitar work to bring to life tales of his life and time on the road.

     2016 saw the release of Minardi's first full-length studio album entitled "Stronger Than the Earth." 'Stronger Than the Earth' explores themes of love, growing up, and growing old and channels a momentum and energy which carries its listeners gracefully from the harmony-heavy and horn-laden opener 'Can't Let Go' through the final moments of its pensive closing track 'Castle Walls.'"

     After an international tour of England in the winter of 2017, Minardi came back to the States to begin work on his 6 track EP "Stories" which was released in February of 2018. - Stories - has been called "Hauntingly Uplifting Americana" featuring songs like I'll Be Mine, "one of the most blissful duets since Glenn Hansard & Marketa Irglova" (A&R Factory) and Young & Green, "a folk-pop raver that conjures images of Northern California life (Chico News and Review).
