When he received his first guitar as a Christmas present at age 9, Max Graham found it too hard to play and let it sit in the corner of his room untouched for a year and a half, his family recalls. But then one day when he was bored, he picked it up again, and everything clicked. And he never put it down again, his sister Andrea Graham said.
The lead singer and mandolinist in Minnesota s jammy bluegrass band Kind Country and an earnest, multi-faceted performer with many other projects, Max Graham died last week after a long battle with borderline personality disorder, according to family.
