Concert Description:
Trace Bundy
Internationally-acclaimed guitar virtuoso Trace Bundy must be seen, not just heard. His music is poetry in motion, using harmonics, looping, multiple capos, and his unique banter and stage presence to deliver an unforgettable live concert experience. Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing, but seeing the fan-dubbed “Acoustic Ninja” play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers. Bundy’s unique career has brought him across the world, with concerts in 28 countries and counting -from high-tech performance halls in South Korea and Italy, to remote villages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala. He has independently sold over 150,000 albums on his record label, Honest Ninja Music. His video clips circulate virally at astonishing speed, with over 45million YouTube views to date. Jimmy Leslie at Guitar Player Magazine blogs “It was easy to see why Bundy plays bigger venues on each tour. In his hands, the acoustic guitar is an imagination station, and there was no telling where he is going take the audience at any given turn. Thrilling stuff.” Audiocast Magazine from Austin, TX agrees: “Bundy’s live show is without a doubt an event that needs to be witnessed rather than told about. With such a jaw-dropping performance, Bundy’s live concert is a slap in the face that would leave a palm print on the memory of everyone in the audience. Learn More

With the band’s vocals driving an Americana sound, Max’s swirling guitar pulling listeners into creative spaces, and their genuine grass roots energy right up front, the Max Mackey Band is not to be missed.
In January 2025 Max released his brand new full length album, “Eyes on the Road”. These 10 original songs have the power to uplift you, move your body, and garner hope in the future of meaningful songwriting and the human spirit.
Max can also be found playing solo with his trusty Martin guitar ‘Grace’. “Solo shows are an opportunity to strip down sonically and play the music differently,” says Max. “I get to explore my voice and allow a vulnerability in playing that comes from a nowhere-to-hide space.” Max’s solo shows are intimate, expressive, and make for a damn great time.
