Houston native, Max Flinn has teamed up with legendary Nashville producer / songwriter /musician, Bobby Terry (Willie Nelson, Luke Combs, and Garth Brooks) on his new album, Meant to Be which released on March 5th, 2021. The album, which was recorded in Nashville, features tracks he co-wrote with Terry (Brad Paisley, Trisha Yearwood, and Faith Hill) and David Tolliver (Tim McGraw, Wynonna, and Brantly Gilbert). The project features Kenny Chesney guitarist Jon Conley, winner of the Academy of Country Music (ACM) Guitarist of the Year Award, and a 2-time winner of the CMA Award Musician of the Year Brent Mason, and multi-GRAMMY award-winning fiddle player and member of The Time Jumpers, Larry Franklin.
Born and raised in Houston, Flinn’s love for Texas country music started early and with persistence. Spending his childhood watching the Singable Songs of Raffi and strumming along on a broomstick, it wasn’t long before he was teaching himself how to play the guitar. Growing up listening to Red Dirt music giants Cory Morrow, Pat Green, and Robert Earl Keen, he played music as a hobby throughout most of his teens and early twenties entertaining family and friends at parties.
Singing those Texas country anthems for much of his life, the music never left him. Always at the back of his mind, even during Max’s stint working a corporate job in the oil & gas industry. It wasn’t long before he knew his heart was elsewhere. Determined to find a way to turn his dream into a reality, he sought out some local musicians and open mics. Gaining a following, he was ready to say goodbye to the corporate gig and take on music full time.
Houston Press describes Flinn’s songs as “fresh and new, but familiar at the same time...his music is so sincere and heartfelt.” Producer Bobby Terry agrees with the sentiment saying, "Max Flinn is one of those young guys with an old soul, and it comes through in his music. Couple that soul with his solid performances both on stage and in the studio, and you have a musician that is as real as it gets."

The glam band Slaughter formed in Las Vegas by lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum. The band reached stardom in 1990 with their first album Stick It to Ya, which spawned several hit singles including "Up All Night", "Spend My Life", "Mad About You" and "Fly to the Angels". The album reached double platinum status in the United States. The band remains a steady act in national tours, this weekend the band with Kix will be at Waredhouse Live in the ballroom.
It was late 1988 when the groug got together from the ashes of lead vocalist Mark Slaughter and bassist Dana Strum's previous band, Vinnie Vincent Invasion. Vinnie Vincent Invasion's record company, Chrysalis Records, took the $4 million contract away from Vinnie Vincent for exceeding his credit line with the label, and transferred the contract to former members Slaughter and Strum. By 1989, Slaughter and Strum completed the lineup by recruiting lead guitarist Tim Kelly and drummer Blas Elias.
The hard rock group Kix achieved popularity during the 1980s. Led by frontman Steve Whiteman and bassist Donnie Purnell, the band's classic lineup was rounded out by drummer Jimmy "Chocolate" Chalfant and guitarists Ronnie "10/10" Younkins and Brian "Damage" Forsythe. Kix covered AC/DC, Aerosmith, April Wine, Led Zeppelin and others, prior to signing with Atlantic Records in 1981. Since peaking in the late-1980s, band members have continued to intermittently record and tour, the band hails from state of Maryland.
