Short Bio

Max Minardi is a Northern California singer-songwriter whose music bridges folk storytelling with the polish of modern Americana. With a warm baritone voice and an eye for poetic detail, Minardi crafts songs that explore movement, belonging, and the search for home.

His 2025 album Anywhere captures a decade of artistic evolution, blending organic instrumentation, rich harmonies, and the live energy that defines his performances. Recorded largely live in studio, the record reflects both the wanderlust of Minardi’s touring years—spanning England, Scotland, Italy, and Canada—and a grounded sense of peace found in returning home.

Whether performing solo with his loop station or leading his full band, Minardi brings intimacy and dynamic energy to every stage. He continues to carve out a space where authenticity and ambition meet. Anywhere stands as his most resonant work yet—rooted in the belief that we can find meaning, connection, and beauty anywhere.
