Owen Casey

I was born in a small town in the west of Ireland called Portumna, Im from a musical family and a very musical town. From an early age I fell in love with music and listened to a wide variety from rock to folk, traditional Irish to reggae. I decided in my early teens that I wanted to make my way in life as a musician. I left home in 1995 and spent some time in California, and its there that I started gigging as a solo entertainer in pubs, clubs and cafes, learning the tricks of the trade in entertainment and performance.
I was very influenced by singer songwriters such as Neil Young, Treacy Chapman, Bruce Springsteen, Kris Kristofferson, James Taylor, Tom Waits and other songwriters with a strong lyrical finesse. I also had a great love for traditional songs and tunes from my Irish motherland. I started to write and record songs in my early twenties and recorded my first album “Between the Lines” in 1998 in Ireland. Around that time, I began touring in Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Spain, Greece and Ireland. In 2002 I put a 4 piece band together called Owen Casey and the Prodigal Sons and recorded the second album entitled, Slip through my Hands, also releasing the title track into the Irish charts.
