Max McNown | Idaho Botanical Garden

Rising country-folk singer-songwriter Max McNown brings his heartfelt, road-worn sound to Outlaw Field for an evening of music under the Boise foothills. With a warm, gravel-edged voice and an honest, storytelling style, McNown has connected with a fast-growing audience on the strength of tracks like “Wandering Eyes,” “A Lot More Free,” and “Better Me for You (Brighter Days).” His songs sit right at the crossroads of modern country and acoustic folk — intimate enough to feel like he’s playing just for you, but built for a crowd singing every word back. It’s the kind of set that feels tailor-made for a summer night out on the grass.
