![]() MoMojo Records signs Max HightowerBy: MoMojo Records Initially inspired by seeing Jimi Hendrix on TV and listening to a worn-out cassette of Muddy 'Mississippi' Waters Live, the South Carolina native's blues journey began at age 12 on his grandmother's old 1950's Silvertone guitar which was soon to be replaced with a harmonica. By his mid-teens, Hightower was jamming in smoky barrooms, honing his chops on harmonica, piano, guitar, and eventually vocals. Ultimately evolving into a multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and producer, he has shared the stage with some of the very legends who first fueled his musical passion, including Hubert Sumlin, Bob Stroger, Eddie Shaw, Kim Wilson and Bobby Rush. It is always extra special to support an artist's debut offering, setting the stage upon which years of hopes, dreams, planning and LOTS of practice have laid the foundation," "Creating and recording this album was just the beginning," says Hightower. "The crucial part was teaming up with Sallie Bengtson and Debra Clark at MoMojo Records. They are no-doubt the engine that keeps everything moving forward and I'm blessed to have the opportunity to work with them both." Preorders for Nothin' but the Truth begin January 24 with the release of the single, "It's on Me". Visit maxhightower.com for more information and follow Max Hightower at facebook.com/ End
