Max and Heather Stalling

Meet Max & Heather Stalling, a dynamic duo of singer-songwriters from Dallas, Texas, who bring a distinctive fusion of vocals, lyrics and fiddle playing to the core of Texas and Americana music.

Max left behind a career as an R&D scientist at Frito Lay to pursue his goals as a singer-songwriter, trading in his lab coat and master’s degree from Texas A&M University for a guitar and the stage. Max has cultivated his sizable and devoted fan base over the course of his more than 20 years of touring, gigging, and hard work; playing pretty much every venue you’ve ever heard of and many you haven’t. A mainstay of the Texas/Red Dirt scene, Max has six studio albums, three live projects, and a history of chart-topping success in Americana radio. His star on the South Texas Music Walk of Fame in Corpus Christi stands as a testament to his enduring impact.

Heather is an award-winning violinist and fiddler. As a child she traveled with her parents while she performed in fiddle contests throughout Texas and surrounding states winning trophies and admirers along the way. At age 18 she was hired into "The Texas Gold Minors" in Branson, Missouri performing 7 days a week for several years. Upon returning to Texas, she was in high demand as a fiddler and played with acts such as Bob Schneider, Cory Morrow, Johnny Lee, The Old 97s and Mark David Manders. Ultimately she formed her own band, blacktopGYPSY, penning the songs, playing fiddle and guitar and singing harmony. “BTG” released two full-length studio albums, toured relentlessly and made fans everywhere they went.

Max and Heather are thrilled to embark on this joint musical journey, sharing their love of music and each other with audiences old and new. Don't miss the chance to witness their chemistry as they take their show on the road.
