Hey....
My name is curtiswhy and I'm an Australian solo singer songwriter who plays eclectic acoustic rock.

Projecting a chord that cannot b found, I want 2 ride past you on a bicycle with music blaring loudly....

My main aim is 2 play well crafted genuine live music that you can keep with u for the rest of your life.

Quietly searching 4 the missing beat I now am attempting 2 nomadically sustain myself as a professional musician asking only 4 something good 2 eat and a place where I can rest and sleep well....

The most important thing 4 me is that u are affected by what I offer u....

2 see u enjoying yourself is worth more than any money that u can pay me.... xo

A trusted troubadour for hot summer nights and cold beers, Owen is now in his forties, tangling with separations from lost lovers, raising kids, and growing out of the fresh-faced kid that headed down to Nashville 20 years back with a six-string and a dream.  Case in point: Dreams to Dream, Owen’s long-awaited, Shooter Jennings-co-produced foray into classic, honky-tonk country, out November 7 via Good Company Entertainment. Dreams to Dream, Owen’s first independent studio album, featuring 10 original tracks and two stellar covers, tells the tale of a man at a crossroads — and what it takes to set out a new path. 

Owen wasn’t expecting much when he commented on one of Shooter Jennings’ Instagram posts, half-jokingly suggesting that they make a honky-tonk record, but the producer called his bluff. Two days later, Owen’s manager had Jennings on the line and, soon, Owen was on his way to L.A. and Jennings’ Sunset Sound. It was a cozy yet electric scene: Jennings and Owen cracking jokes in the sepia-toned studio, creativity crackling as they collaborated with the likes of songwriters Ben Chapman and Kendell Marvel, as well as long-time shooter pal, guitarist/harmonic player Leroy Powell. 

“All my friends who have heard my stuff have gone, ‘Dude, Jake, this is you man. This is who you've always tried to be,’” Owen says. “Sometimes you need to get outside what's comfortable, what people think you are, or think you should be, and take a risk.”

Irish /Singer / songwriter /  from Cork now based in Galway.

It’s gonna be a long summer. July 12. #TipOfMyTongue
