Garrett Owen – Quiet Lives

Wednesday, September 09, 2020 By Shawn Underwood

With Labor Day now in the rearview mirror, life gets more serious. Students are back in school, work projects pick up, winter is coming. Even the chaos of 2020 isn’t changing that cycle. As it happens, singer-songwriter Garrett Owen is releasing a good accompaniment to buckling down, his second full length album, Quiet Lives. The […]

Garrett Owen – Garrett Owen

Wednesday, June 10, 2020 By Shawn Underwood

The reaction of the audience you see in this video matches that of the audience at our show. Owen captivated with the purity of his voice and guitar-playing, not to mention the […]

Deep Ellum Blues – A Special Dallas Playlist

Thursday, May 03, 2018 By Mayer Danzig

Good Luck, Garrett Owen (from the self-released Sad Eyed-Son) To call Fort Worth’s Garrett Owen a captivating performer just doesn’t do him justice. Even as he sings songs about heartbreak and loss, he somehow pulls in listeners with an enthralling allure. There’s a melancholy that hangs over his music – he sings achingly of heartache, […]
