Texas Headhunters with special guest Max Gomez

Texas Headhunters is a hard-hitting new supergroup uniting three of the most dangerous guitar slingers to ever come out of the Lone Star State: Ian Moore, Jesse Dayton, and Johnny Moeller. They channel the grit and groove of early ZZ Top, the soul of vintage Austin blues clubs, and the raw edge of an underground garage show. It’s Texas blues-rock with back-alley swagger-loud, loose, and loaded with soul. The songs swing from deep-pocket boogie to roadhouse rave-ups, always anchored in feel, fire, and that unfiltered Austin cool. 

Each member is a force in his own right: 

Jesse Dayton has recorded with Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and Rob Zombie, subbed for Billy Zoom in punk legends X, and earned a Grammy nomination with Samantha Fish for Death Wish Blues. 

Johnny Moeller, longtime guitarist for the Fabulous Thunderbirds, is the band’s not-so-secret weapon—cool, crafty, and sly as hell onstage. 

Ian Moore, a revered Austin figure and CliPord Antone protégé, toured with the Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan, pairing searing guitar work with a deeply soulful voice. 

The first singles are turning heads, and the album drops August 22. This headline tour is your shot to catch Texas Headhunters live—before the secret’s out. 

It ain’t a throwback. It’s a throwdown.
 

Max Gomez

Singer/Songwriter Max Gomez grew up in Taos, New Mexico, where he fell under the influence of country blues early on and developed a songwriting style that was uniquely his. As a budding performer, Max apprenticed in the rarefied musical micro-climate of northern New Mexico, where troubadours like Michael Martin Murphey and Ray Wylie Hubbard helped foster a Western folk sound both cosmic and country.

He received critical acclaim upon the release of his debut album Rule The World (2013, New West Records); and his subsequent EP, Me and Joe (2017, Brigadoon Records), contained a freshly minted classic, “Make It Me.” 

He has shared billing on hundreds of stages with stalwarts of the genre like James McMurtry, Buddy Miller, John Hiatt, Patty Griffin, Tommy James & The Shondells, Jeff Beck, and Johnny Depp. Judging by the company he keeps, Gomez is poised to emerge as a prominent voice of Americana’s next generation.  The forthcoming album, Memory Mountain, was released on August 28th and is currently on tour.
