Hello friends, hitting your inbox to let you in on an exciting bit of news. My new album, Nightbound, has been completed, and is available for preorder now. You can listen to the first track, “Waste Heat” on Bandcamp. The full album will be release on October 1st, 2026.

Nightbound is my first album in five years, and features my longtime friends and bandmates Race Hoglund, Russ Peterson, Steve Wallevand, and Joel Beseler-Thompson. We recorded this music two months before I relocated to Minneapolis, and I’m very happy that we were able to document this band at our best.
It’s not an accident that this message comes to you on “Bandcamp Friday”, when Bandcamp waives their cut of sales. So, if you like what you hear and preorder today, 100% of your purchase price comes directly to me. If you are interested in the music but aren’t interested in owning a copy, hitting ‘follow’ or ‘wishlisting’ the album on Bandcamp is still a great way to help me spread the word, and helps to keep you informed as new music becomes available.
Finally, I’m thrilled to announce that Max Johnk + Allweather (Mpls Edition) will be performing at Berlin in Minneapolis on October 1st to celebrate the release. We’ll play selections from Nightbound along with a bunch of other music. Tickets are on sale now. An album release show in Fargo-Moorhead is in the works, and will be announced soon, so please stay tuned.
Thank you for your attention, and your support. I hope you take a minute to check out the record, and that you’ll join us live in October. See you out there!
-Max
