Max Bien Kahn’s newest release Until I Cross It Off is exactly what you’d expect out of him and the Mashed Potato outfit but also so much more.. it’s really groovy & fun – boasting an airy garage rock feel that’s fueled by pop folk from the 50’s or 60’s.
Hailing from San Francisco, Max Bien Kahn has seamlessly integrated into New Orleans’ music scene. Originally finding his rhythm playing jazz and classic country on the streets, notably with Tuba Skinny, now considered an anchor of the New Orleans indie folk scene.
Until I Cross It Off is full of charm and touching on all things grief, heartbreak, new love, sex, making coffee, walking dogs, and simply getting through your day – one task at a time..
Listening to the album is like listening to Max Bien Kahn reading excerpts from his own diary – delivered with a wink & a smirk.

“Max Bien Kahn brings a wonderfully warm vintage flare.. a fitting tone for the Brit-pop gone surf sensibility of the songwriting”
