About Me

Robbie Owen has been making music in various incarnations of bands and solo projects for over ten years, including collaborations with The Strugglers and The International Grapevine among others. His inimitable guitar style combines elements of southern rock, blues, indie rock, and death metal. From these disparate styles something truly unique has emerged. The songs that will be posted in this space are Owen's first studio recordings with engineer Jim Bob Aiken. We all have high hopes that these demos, culled from a huge backlog of four-track recordings born back deep in the mid-90’s, will soon be fleshed out in a full-length debut album. Please welcome the singer who today we are calling Astrid K.
