Beginning with a pitter-patter of plucking guitar strings that introduce Max’s soft vocals, “Call Me If You Miss Me” captures the bittersweet longing and search for closure that follows the end of a relationship. This new single continues the story of his stunning sophomore album “Night Diving,” released via Fugitive Recordings, The Orchard, and Columbia Records.
In his own words, Max McNown explains, “‘Call Me if You Miss Me’ is one of the first songs written in the creation of ‘Night Diving’ and I’ve been so eager to give it to the fans. It comes as a promise that we’re not done, and more music will always be the Max McNown way.”

At 23, Max McNown 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 2M 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.
