Whether you're a new fan or already hooked, this episode dives deep into Max McNown’s unique story. The rising star opens up about growing up in Oregon, how his family sparked his love of music, and the unexpected road that led from making lattes to going viral and earning millions of streams. Max shares why he walked away from American Idol, unpacks the stories behind fan-favorite songs, and talks his new album Night Diving (The Cost of Growing Up).  Before hearing all about Max McNown’s journey, Kelly and Amber give us the scoop about our girl Lainey Wilson and her brand-new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame, Lainey Wilson: Tough as Nails, which just opened last weekend.
