Perfecting his craft through extensive touring and live performances for a number of years now, Owen Steel has dedicated the past year to capturing his music in proper physical form, and the payoff is well worth the wait. The album was recorded by Fredericton based engineer Evan Hansen (The Olympic Symphonium, Weak Size Fish) at ‘Salty Towers’ in St. Andrews, N.B, and features appearances from some of the regions’ most prominent performers (A.G. Olmstead, Tom Easley, Kelly Waterhouse, etc.). Upon the albums release in early March, Owen Steel ‘et al’ will for the first time tour from coast to coast, in the most appropriate of ways; playing shows onboard VIA rail trains from Halifax to Vancouver, with stops along the way. Since the world around him inspires his music so much, it’s entirely fitting that Owen be playing his music as the gorgeous landscape and scenery of the Canadian wilderness rushes by.
