Owen was formed in the winter of 2000. Keith (vocals) and Roger Bonsang (guitar), along with Paul Palumbo (guitar), put and ad in the Boston Phoenix for a drummer and bass player. As a result, Shawn Hudson (drums) and J Coimbra (bass) were added to the line up. Owen's strong bond lies within their love of melodic song writers like Elvis Costello and The Beatles. They recently finished recording a project with producer Dan McLoughlin (of the Push Stars).
