Max Cobb Music

I regularly play up to 5 hours of instrumental acoustic or electric guitar, styles ranging from classical, flamenco, movie/tv soundtrack, classic rock, soul/r&b, country, oldies, pop, jazz standards (40's and 50's pop), and blues. I can learn anything by ear, and take custom song/setlist requests for wedding ceremonies, receptions, corporate event cocktail hours, and private events like birthday parties and anniversaries. I don't often take breaks, but for a 4 hour event, ask that I could take a 5-10 minute break each hour.

I love the challenge of learning new music, and have a repertoire of over 300 songs that I practice and play live. I can also offer up to 3 hours of singing with my guitar playing, and use a live looping machine that allows me to add drums, bass, vocal harmonies, or ukulele - I use this for dance parties and can play a one man show if clients want more upbeat music to dance to.

Max Cobb is a finger-style guitarist and singer from Seattle, WA. Playing piano in his formative years, Max picked up the guitar at age 12; learning through formal instruction and playing along with his favorite albums, he later went on to study classical and jazz guitar at Gonzaga University, where he joined an Americans/fold band, 'The Scenic Roots', and a funk/soul band, 'B-Bo and the Zig Zags'. Max played professionally after graduating college in Western Washington, playing weddings, wine tastings, bars, restaurants, and corporate events, and formed a blues-rock/funk band, 'The Willows'. After gaining multiple years of experience in Western Washington, Max decided to move to Austin, TX, where he now resides, to further pursue his music career and continue playing in new settings, picking up new instruments (bass, violin, ukulele, and drums) along the way.

An electrical outlet is all I need to perform. If you can provide a chair or stool without arms, it's much appreciated, I can make arrangements to bring my own if that's not possible, though. Weather conditions like rain and wind are not ideal, mainly for protecting my equipment and instruments, but I know that's out of the client's power. I don't take up much space at all, just about a 4'x4' space for my amplifier, mic stand if needed, and myself to sit.
