OWEN WALSH
Owen Walsh has been telling stories and performing music his entire life. Born and raised on the banks of the Lackawaxen River in Honesdale, Pennsylvania—a small, historic coal-mining town—Owen grew up surrounded by relics of 19th Century American life and imagery ripe for musical exploitation.
Owen began playing violin at the age of three, studying formal repertoire. At 12 years old, he found his dad's dusty, old Epiphone guitar tucked away in a closet and taught himself how to play. Soon after he learned his first few chords, Owen began writing songs. He's followed in the long tradition of Americana folk music, in which lyrics are equal in importance to the melodies that bind them. 
CONCERT OPENER: CATH KASMER
Opening the evening for Owen Walsh is the truly talented and unassuming Cath Kasmer. A long-time club member, Cath is an inspired interpreter of traditional songs, accompanying herself with fluid Travis-style picking on her Martin jumbo guitar. She draws on blues, gospel, and British folk traditions and always delivers her songs with a sweet voice and a graceful hand. |
