Jamaican-born troubadour Owen Plant is based in San Francisco, CA where he writes and performs his music and from whence he tours and peers out at the world. His writing style is reminiscent of introspective singer/songwriters from the '70s but also incorporates his Caribbean-ness on the regular. Owen's strong vocals evoke the emotional depth of Cat Stevens and the soulful passion of Bob Marley and you can hear Paul Simon and Leonard Cohen in his guitar work. Elevator pitch alert! - Imagine Bruno Merz, John Mayer, Ray LaMontagne, Jack Johnson and Ziggy Marley around the campfire - but it's one Jamerican with a bunch of pedals and a beard when it's cold and stubble when it's not. Rasta Folk? Reggae Pop? Singer/Songwriter Dub/Ska? No catchy hybrid genre yet coined (all submissions are welcome). He has fronted other projects, most recently as the lead singer of the Sunshine Brothers. For the most up-to-date Owen Plant music and news go to the band website www.owenplant.net
