Owen Campbell bio
“Possibly one of the best performers to come out of Australia for quite sometime, amazing lap steel slide guitar and a songwriting ability that belies his years”
- ARGUS NEWS,IRELAND
“(Robert) Owen is something different,the music issuing forth was Australian blues,raunchy and interesting….”
- THE IRISH NEWS Ireland 2009
In the words of Alistair Hullit Robert truely was “born and raised on salted oats and tales of the savage past”.
Born in Australia to an Irish mother and Scottish father he was introduced to a great mix of diverse and soulful music and playing guitar since he was 10 years old, his style has developed over 16 years into a gravelly blend of blues,roots,soul an country.
His voice belies his 25 years and you will be amazed by his slide guitar abilities.
Devon Allmän bio
DEVON ALLMAN COULD HAVE COASTED THROUGH A CAREER WITH HIS SURNAME ALONE. IN THE WORLD OF ROCK ‘N ROLL, BEING AN ALLMAN IS LIKE BEING A KENNEDY — YOU’RE BORN INTO PRESTIGE.
BUT MUCH LIKE JAKOB DYLAN (SON OF BOB) OR NORA JONES (DAUGHTER OF RAVI SHANKAR), ALLMAN HAS PROVED HESITANT TO CASH IN ON HIS REVERED HERITAGE. RATHER, HE’S FORGED HIS OWN PATH AS A BLUES ROCKER, FORGOING OPPORTUNITIES TO PIGGYBACK ON THE SUCCESS OF HIS FAMOUS FATHER, GREGG.
STILL, THE TWO RUN IN SIMILAR CIRCLES. ALLMAN HAS SPENT THE PAST FOUR YEARS PLAYING WITH ROYAL SOUTHERN BROTHERHOOD, A SUPERGROUP OF SORTS THAT INCLUDES YONRICO SCOTT, DRUMMER FOR FORMER ALLMAN BROTHERS GUITARIST DEREK TRUCKS’ BAND.
LATELY, ALLMAN HAS BEEN EXPLORING SOLO WORK. LAST YEAR, HE RELEASED “RAGGED & DIRTY,” A GRITTY, CHICAGO-INFLUENCED SOLO ALBUM. HE HIT THE ROAD THIS YEAR WITH HIS EPONYMOUS BAND.
