From the small country town of Coonamble NSW to the international stage, Max Jackson has carved an undeniable path in Australian Country Music, marked by three Golden Guitars and a relentless touring schedule. Her journey began early, blossoming in Coonamble before she honed her craft in Newcastle, securing her first professional gig at just 13. Inspired by titans like Dolly Parton and Shania Twain, Max dedicated herself to songwriting, making multiple trips to Nashville and Los Angeles to absorb every nuance of the art.
The timing of the release of her independent debut album "Life Of The Party" just as the worldwide pandemic hit in March 2020 was an unexpected challenge that no one saw coming. Max's career was placed on hold as the music business basically closed down. But Max’s determination to continue working towards her goals through the use of social media during the pandemic paid off.
2022 became her pivotal year when she was crowned the 42nd winner of Toyota Star Maker, Australia's most prestigious country music competition, joining an elite group of alumni including Keith Urban and Lee Kernaghan. The Star Maker win came with a prize of the use of a Toyota Rav 4 and a free fuel card for a year. This propelled her into a year of non-stop travel playing anywhere and everywhere she could as she traveled to perform at major festivals across the country as the Star Maker winner. The hard work earned her a New Talent nomination at the Toyota 51st Golden Guitar Awards.
2023 was a landmark year: Max signed with Stephen White Management and ABC Music, releasing her chart-topping single "Little More Country," which held the #1 spot on the Countrytown National Airplay Charts for three weeks. Her rising star was further cemented when she was named the official Ambassador for the 2024 Tamworth Country Music Festival, leading to two Golden Guitar nominations and a win for Best New Talent in January 2024.
Max's momentum continued through 2024, touring nationally as the special guest on The Wolfe Brothers Still Livin’ The Dream Tour and releasing three more Top 10 singles: "Fixin’ Things," "Who You Did It With," and "Hold My Horses." Kicking off 2025 as the Official Ambassador for the Tamworth Country Music Festival for a second year, she co-hosted the 53rd Australian Country Music Awards and took home two Golden Guitars for Female Artist Of The Year and Single of the Year for "Little More Country."
The demand for Max exploded in 2025, with increased festival bookings and a second invitation to perform at Nashville’s CMA Fest. She released three more singles—"Grass," "A Country Heart Can," and "1990 Somethin’"—and sold out multiple shows on her first headline Australian tour. Max’s influence is extending beyond Australia; her songs are played in Europe, the UK and New Zealand, and she’s been nominated for a CCMA Award in Canada this year.
Max Jackson is fast becoming a true force in country music, serving as the Official Ambassador for the Tamworth Country Music Festival three years running (2024/25/26) and consistently delivering hit singles since 2023. Her "Little More Country" EP and viral online live video series, boasting over twenty-five million views worldwide, showcase her unique ability to blend worldwide iconic songs from different genres with a fresh country twist. With more touring, recording, and a new album on the horizon for 2026, Max Jackson and her band are one of the most in-demand acts in Australian country music, guaranteeing a high-energy live show where artist and audience unite in a fun-filled party that leaves everyone "satisfied to the MAX."
