Returning To The UK/Europe For Headlining Tour In December

NASHVILLE, TN. / LONDON, U.K. – (11th April, 2025) – Poised to be 2025’s biggest emerging singer-songwriter, Nashville-based Max McNown has today released the new single “St. Helens Alpenglow” alongside a moving performance video via Fugitive Recordings x The Orchard x Columbia Records.

Listen to “St. Helens Alpenglow” HERE / Watch the performance video below:

“For better or for worse, every relationship we’ve ever experienced has shaped us into the person we are today” shares Max. “The song ‘St. Helens Alpenglow’ serves as a reminder that just because a past love didn’t make it to the finish line, it doesn’t mean it was all for nothing. There are pieces of one another that we carry far beyond the “end” of our romances. The “Alpenglow” represents those fragments of broken relationships, memories you look back on fondly and will always be grateful for.”

This new single follows last month’s release “Call Me If You Miss Me” and continues the story of his stunning sophomore album NIGHT DIVING (released 24th January), a graceful fusion of folk and pop produced by Jamie Kenney (Colbie Caillat, Laci Kaye Booth). 

One of the “brightest newly minted stars to come out of Nashville in recent years” (GRAMMY.com), McNown recently made his UK and European debut at C2C: Country to Country Festival in London, Berlin and Rotterdam and will be returning overseas for a headlining tour across the UK, the Netherlands, Germany and France in December.

ABOUT MAX McNOWN:
At 23, Max has already been on a storied musical journey. Taking control of his future, overcoming personal challenges, and drawing inspiration from his brother who was bravely fighting cancer, Max packed his bags and drove from remote Oregon to Southern California. From there, videos of him busking on a pier made an impact online and eventually grew into a legion of supporters on TikTok (currently has 2.3M followers). After attracting interest from major TV talent shows, Max auditioned for one and then decided it wasn't for him, and gracefully turned them down as he knew he needed to walk his own path.
