The calm, boring life of a small Midwestern town drove Max Holmquist to pick up a guitar at the age of 15. Four years later, South of Lincoln started in 2006 as his solo project. Starting with a post-punk/emo sound in the vein as Juliana Theory, Saves the Day, etc. somewhere along the line his style shifted with his personal musical tastes. With the introduction of Alt/Folk from people like Damien Jurado, Neko Case, M. Ward, Andrew Bird, Rocky Votolato, etc., South of Lincoln became Great American Desert, a collection of honest, heartfelt folk songs.

Kelly doesn't have music on websites that I can find. But he is the Great Uncle of Midtown and he makes honest, no-holds-barred, kickass folk music.
