Max McNown Sells Out The Ritz During Cost Of Growing Up Tour

BY CAITLIN RUSS

Max McNown’s Cost of Growing Up Tour stop in Raleigh packed The Ritz, a standing-room only, intimate venue. The show was highly anticipated and was completely sold out, as are the majority of his remaining tour dates.

McNown’s music is warm, relatable, and heartbreaking all at the same time. "Better Me For You (Brown Eyes)" is a viral country-folk hit that quickly climbed the country music charts and put him on the map. The Oregon native previously recorded “A Lot More Free” which also turned into a viral song.

Throughout the night and between tear-jerking lyrics, McNown joined his fans on the barricade and even sat on the edge of the stage to sing. He expressed his deepest gratitude and appreciation for his fans who have been supportive from the beginning of his musical journey.

Austin Mackay joined McNown’s tour for multiple stops on the East coast. The Australian singer brought his solo show, harmonica included, to North and South Carolina as well as Georgia. The crowd gave Mackay a warm welcome and many McNown fans had positive comments about the Aussie paired with videos and pictures from that night on various social media sites.

The Cost of Growing Up Tour continues across the US and overseas through September. An exhaustive list of tour dates can be found here.
