BIOGRAPHY:
Adrenaline and storytelling collide in Country/Rockabilly artist Owen Smith. His style is playful and driving, ranging from classic bush ballads right through to punchy Rockabilly. Described as having “perfected the sound of true Aussie country” by the Northern Daily Leader, Owen aspires to the soulful tones of Phil Emmanuel and Ian Moss with his roots in the Country sounds he grew up to of Slim Dusty and Adam Brand. Owen's debut single, 'Wild Wild Weather', a rockin' bad-love song, has received global airplay across six continents in its first two weeks. Here's what the industry is saying: "love how classically country rock this is, super on the nose!" (Anika Luna, TripleJ) "Reminds me of early Cold Chisel" (Dan Saunders, 2TM) The release comes hot off his graduation from the CMAA's 2024 Senior Academy with a sold out final concert to Moonshiners, Tamworth, and their opening concert performance for the Tamworth Country Music Festival. Owen is also a Grand Finalist for the Australian National Busking Championships (2023), for the CCMA New Songwriter of the Year (2023) and the Tamworth Songwriters Association Awards (2024).
