Heath Owens Band
Growing up in the country in Southern Idaho with a classic country heritage as the great grandson of Buck Owens, Heath Owens is leaving behind a dust cloud of memorable tunes wherever he goes. Heath’s songs blend a combination of real life, soulful lyricism and angsty unavoidable singalong choruses that draw from vast influences of alt-country, southern rock and 90’s punk. In this new era for country music, that is quickly forging country sub-genres like new carved waterways in a flood, Heath’s songs are finding their home in the alt-country landscape. Heath’s original songs offer as much variety as your favorite creamery. They’re all country, but each song distinctly differs from one another, all the while possessing a certain tangible country feel. Hot on the heels of trailblazing bands like 49 Winchester, Treaty Oak Revival or Muscadine Bloodline, Heath Owens, his brother Tennessee Owens, and the band are putting harmonies to lyrics and lyrics to tunes that will stick with you long after you catch a show. Come ready to dance and sing and see what the buzz is all about!
