About the Artist

Born and raised in Illinois, and calling Chicago home, Max Subar writes songs that attempt to illuminate the unseen. Intimately expressing his inner self and placing honesty at the forefront of the process, his writing seeks companionship in the listener.

His most recent release is a self-titled EP. Produced and recorded throughout 2019 with the close help of friends, the project juxtaposes his solo songwriting process on guitar with a wider palette of instruments and sound.

After first coming to prominence as a singer, Jamie Lono strived to transcend this former role into a true American troubadour and dedicated himself to writing. This love of songcraft connected him to two acquaintances who unknowingly shared a musical history – all were members of the suburban Chicago hardcore scene. Seemingly ironic to come from such aggression and developing a musical focus on poignant and occasionally vulnerable storytelling, yet the band maintains that genre and style are mere embellishments of the soul of a band: the songs.

Paralleling their penchant for direct and communicative music, the band’s 1st release “Jamie Lono & Noble Heart: The Live EP” is lean and raw, leaving the songs no room to hide behind “studio magic.”
