From the rich musical tradition of the East Tennessee Smoky Mountains comes Richie Owens, the latest in a long line of family musicians and songwriters. Richie literally grew up in the birthplace of acoustic folk, bluegrass and country music, giving him musical influence since birth by many of the East Tennessee legends. Having played and performed music since he was eight years old, Richie Owens has went on to produce, engineer, and or perform with everyone from the Georgia Satellites to Dolly Parton. Always active in the music community with his band The Farm Bureau, Owens is one to keep an eye on for what to expect next in the Americana music scene.
