Originally from Seattle, Washington, Los Angeles based guitarist Max Walker brings a fiery tenacity to the bandstand that is uniquely his own, but clearly builds from a deep well of musical influences.
After receiving his undergraduate degree in jazz guitar performance at Cornish College of the Arts, Walker has gone on to make a name for himself as both a band leader and a sideman in the city of Seattle. Through his recent relocation to Los Angeles, Walker has also joined the student body of the University of Southern California, and is currently enrolled in the Studio/Jazz Guitar Master’s program.
Walker’s talent has led him to play with some of the best acts in Seattle including the Jim Knapp Orchestra, national touring act Biddadat, and bassist Chuck Deardorph among countless others.
Most recently, Walker released his first record as a band leader, Stygia, alongside his trio of Tim Carey on bass and Remy Morritt on drums.
