About Max

Max Bartos is a Folk and Americana singer-songwriter whose music pairs introspective lyricism with anthemic folk-rock energy. As the frontman of Max Bartos & The Misfit Toys, he crafts songs rooted in storytelling and emotional honesty, driven by a modern acoustic sound shaped by influences like Mumford & Sons and Noah Kahan.

His latest release, Waiting At The Crossroads (2025) captures a defining chapter in his artistic evolution, expanding his folk and Americana foundation with richer dynamics and a more confident, fully realized identity.

Fresh off a 30-date U.S. tour with The Misfit Toys, Bartos continues to build momentum on the road. This spring, he joins acclaimed singer-songwriter Brendan James as direct support on a 14-date national tour from March 11 through April 1, further cementing his reputation as a compelling and emotionally resonant live act.

Recently signed with Noble Steed Music, Max Bartos is steadily carving out his place in the modern folk landscape through intentional songwriting, immersive performances, and a growing catalog that connects deeply with listeners.
