Banjo player, songwriter, and author Max Wareham has released new single “Lonesome Blues, I’m Coming Home”. It’s one that he wrote some time ago that draws on childhood memories.

He says:

It brings me back to my childhood, camping in the woods of New York state and longing for a simpler time.

I wrote this one a while back. Then I took it to Peter Rowan, who proceeded to disassemble it completely and put it back together in a way that made more sense.

The tutelage of his bandleader boss Rowan helped to hone Wareham’s arrangement that includes harmonies by former members of the Grammy-nominated band, Po’ Ramblin’ Boys, Laura Orshaw and Josh Rinkel. 

“Lonesome Blues, I’m Coming Home” is the latest single from Wareham’s upcoming debut album, DAGGOMIT!, which was produced by Rowan and is due out on February 21st, 2025.

Wareham is currently touring with Max Wareham & the National Bluegrass Team, featuring mandolin player Jean Baptiste Cardineau, singer and guitarist Walker Russell, and Boston bass player Emma Turoff.
