Garrett Owen’s music has the raw, rustic quality of a Texan, but his origin story is not that of your typical Texas troubadour. The son of career missionaries, Owen spent his childhood in Tanzania and Kenya, his adolescence in South Louisiana, before coming of age in Ecuador.
In this episode, we dive into his album Memoriam, his songwriting process, and the techniques that make his music stand out. Garrett also shares how he balances live and studio performances, protects creative focus in a noisy world, and approaches stage nerves and performance with honesty.
We also talk about finding meaning in music on a small scale, giving songwriters permission to experiment, and how patience and persistence turn ideas into songs that truly connect.
