It's been a huge 12 months for McNown, who made his Stagecoach debut earlier this year, performed at Lollapalooza, sold out two consecutive nights at the Ryman Auditorium and toured alongside country music superstar Parker McCollum.

Working with a selection of incredible artists on his new album, including acclaimed songwriter Julian Bunetta (Gracie Abrams, Kelsea Ballerini) and A-list guitarist Charlie Worsham (Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson), Leave On A Light was recorded and produced with Jamie Kenney at Nashville's renowned Blackbird Studio.

"In a way, most of the songs on this album are love songs," says McNown. "They're a tribute to my wife and my family, the people who care about who I am outside of music and give me a place of peace and unconditional love to come home to."

Australian and New Zealand fans will get to hear these new songs when McNown drops by in February next year.

Catch Max McNown performing on Thursday 4 February at Hindley Street Music Hall. Ticketing information is available at livenation.com.au. Leave On A Light is out Friday 25 September via Fugitive Recordings. Pre-order here.
