Singer-songmaker Owen Stroud is the result of honky-tonk classics and Western swing barnburners and regional folksongs and baroque fugues and jazz standards and high-church hymns, to name a few. A native of Austin’s northwest suburbs, Owen spent several post-college years living in other states, including a few years in Nashville, before returning to south central Texas in 2020. Owen has written and produced two albums to date: If There Are Other Places (2019) and The Handwriting Was Mine (2023). Part recollection, part rediscovery of home turf, Handwriting’s vibrant mix of songs features Owen settling into his signature blend of humor and poignance, whether he’s singing about winter storms, piquin salsa, or even the perils of I-35. When not performing, Owen is usually out hiking at a state park, working on a new batch of songs, or reading a book about some arcane aspect of Texas geography.
