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.

Sports and sushi. Music and trivia. Friends and rivals. At MUDPUPPIES, we bring so many different things to the table. But it’s the way we do it that makes them all just a little better. Great service, friendly fans, and a welcoming atmosphere turn games into get-togethers and competitors into comrades. mudpuppiesavl.com/

Aug 30 @ 10:00 pm – Aug 31 @ 2:00 am

Joe & Shane (Little Fur) from Big Fur open the show!

This summer we are following King Gizzard around the US a bit and playing some afterparties on select dates of the tour. Excited to be playing in some areas we’ve never been to, and we’re looking forward to making new friends on the road!

Initially drawing inspiration from Jam music and traditional Americana, the sound established in the early years was loose, but fun, maybe even slightly subdued. As the band developed further, so did their sound, reflecting a heavier and more psychedelic influence in their music. The band now is firing on all cylinders, and their live shows touch on all fronts of this ever-broadening soundscape.
