This item is available for pre-order only and will be dispatched on or around its release date (01/05/26)

Maisy Owen, a Nashville native, has been surrounded by music and the art of songcraft just about all her life. First came the viola at age nine, then guitar where she embraced fingerpicking, soaking in influences from Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, Mazzy Star and David Olney. Raised in a musical family, her father Gwil Owen is an Academy Award-nominated songwriter.

Maisy’s unique sound, musical truth and stirring vocals inhabit Dark On A Sunny Day, her debut album, produced by Robin Eaton (known for his work with Jill Sobule and co-writer of "I Kissed a Girl"). Drawn to melancholic melodies and dark poetic imagery, her first single “My Youth Is All For You” was released as a 7” and gave Maisy a chance to explore her visual side / love for abandoned houses with an accompanying video. Her second single, "On My Way Down" was recently featured as KCRW's "Today's Top Tune".

Often spotted around Nashville playing bars or cruising around in her beloved pickup, Maisy is that special talent in a city awash with singer-songwriters. While folks thus far seem to have different takes on who she might sound like (for us, it's some of our favorites ; Vashti Bunyan, Anne Briggs, Tia Blake), pinning that down is a fool's errand.
