The American music flame will never go out as long as young artists such as Maxx Cabello Jr. take the torch and keep it burning. This young 22-year old amazing guitarist, soulful vocalist, and prolific songwriter, hails from the streets of the San Francisco Bay area where he is turning heads and bending the ears of the most jaded veteran musicians and music aficionados. Straight out of the South Bay, this quiet-spoken, polite college student turns into a powerful and captivating artist when he begins to play the guitar. We expect his star to be on the rise in the musical sky before long.
Band/artist history
Maxx has been fortunate enough to open for greats such as John Lee Hooker, Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers, Otis Rush, Roy Rogers, Guitar Shorty, W.C. Clarke, Tierra, Tommy Castro, Chris Cain, Gary Hoey, The Roomful of Blues, Duke Robillard, Booker T. & the MG's, and many more. More recently he was asked to open for the popular alternative group Third Eye Blind at Lake Tahoes outdoor concert series. Cabello blew the crowd away, and received a standing ovation for his captivating performance.
Maxx has played many prestigious venues such as, BB Kings Blues Club in Hollywood, CA., BB King's Club NYC, Lou's Pier 47 in San Francisco, CA., JJ's Blues Club San Jose, CA., New York's famous CBGB's, Famous Dave's in Minneapolis, Minnesota, the Oakland Raiders Half-Time Show, and the list goes on. Within the last two years Maxx has played all over the country, and now he will be making his first overseas appearance on the Virgin Islands. One thing is for sure, the minute he steps foot on stage be prepared for an electrifying, all out, balls to the wall performance that you will never forget. It's no mystery why he sells out of CDs at the end of each performance.
Your musical influences
His shades of music are reminiscent of the most renowned guitarists of our time. In his work are the inspirations of Jimi Hendrix and Carlos Santana, but Maxx definitely adds his own artistry, showing only influences by the guitar legends. His hard driving method of playing is accomplished as well as energetic. His singing is clear and strong as he expresses his music with sensitivity and honesty giving him a very recognizable voice.
Even though the late, great John Lee Hooker praised this young guitar player's talent, don't expect to hear any traces of Hooker's Delta blues style in Cabello's offerings. This modernist's way of interpreting music is just not one color pattern in the patchwork of many styles. His eclectic approach captures audiences from young to old, and his shows are consistently packed with diverse and enthusiastic listeners.

"He plays his ass off!"-Garth Webber (Former guitarist of Miles Davis, Lydia Pense and Cold Blood)
"Maxx Cabello is a name you are going to remember!"-Dick Dale
"Reminds me of how I used to play when I was kid."-Guitar Shorty

Man, your guitar playing on "Lose My Cool" is killing me; searing stuff man.
Love the Hendrix/Vaughn influence. Band is tight on that track. Love the funky blues comping as well; don't hear it done that well very often. Much success, brother!
Hey Maxx,
Really loving the tracks, it looks like we are gonna be part of a gig with you at the end of March here in Minneapolis. We do very 70s flavored instrumental rock/funk/fusion. Check out my page if inclined, have a bunch of live tracks up.
Looking forward to it man...
Much respect,
Kevin
