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 the age of 9, then guitar where she embraced fingerpicking under the guidance of the late David Olney. Her father Gwil Owen is an Academy Award-nominated songwriter.
“Drawing on the moody intimacy of Nick Drake, the folk finesse of Bert Jansch and the hazy dream-pop glow of Mazzy Star, she’s carving out a sound all her own” – KCRW Santa Monica, CA
Maisy’s unique sound, musical truth and stirring vocals inhabit Dark On A Sunny Day, her debut album, produced by Robin Eaton. It will be released in the Spring of 2026 on Tompkins Square Records.
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.” Simply put, Maisy is a singular talent and one worth watching.
