Bones Owens
New EP ‘Eighteen Wheeler’ finds Bones Owens in an earnest place, with his melody- driven Americana more cinematic and evocative than ever.
From its contemplative title track to the swampily ominous standout, “Bring Me Back,” Eighteen Wheeler marks a sophisticated sonic shift that hints at Owens’ sophomore full- length, due in summer 2024.
A product of his country roots and 90’s alternative rock leanings, Owens cut his teeth crafting songs in middle school garage bands in rural Missouri. This duality still remains, artfully
illustrated in a persistent refusal to be held to a single lane. Owens’ chameleon-like approach has not only shaped his music but also paved the way for diverse collaborations, spanning from artists such as Yelawolf, Mikky Ekko, and Jelly Roll, to appearing on tours with Kaleo, Koe Wetzel, and Whiskey Myers.
A pair of self-released solo EPs and a relentless tour schedule attracted the attention of Thirty Tigers (Jason Isbell, Smashing Pumpkins, etc.), who released Bones’ eponymous debut album in 2021.
While a departure from the more raucous, made-for-the-stage stylings of his debut, throughlines of sincere storytelling and evocative lyricism still permeate Eighteen Wheeler, released by Thirty Tigers on Dec. 1.
Echoes of Owens’ early folk-driven EPs are clearly present, yet this decidedly delicate and vulnerable six-song record is his most heartfelt and distinctive to date.

Vans, trailers and crappy hotel rooms have molded a sound that is truly it’s own. After a move to Cincinnati, Brent was introduced to his band fittinly named, The Vintage Youth. The bands first show was with longtime supporter Ted Nugent and they’ve been touring since. They’ve shared the stage and/or toured with the aformentioned as well as The Cadillac Three, Eric Church, Daughtry, Huey Lewis, Foreigner, Candlebox, American Aquarium, Buckcherry, Walk Off The Earth, Robin Trower and more. With 2 Ep’s released, the bands much anticipated debut full length hit stores August 4, 2015 . Their songs are engulfed in truth, life, loss and finding your own space in a crowded world. This is true original songwriting. Look for them in a city near you and keep an ear on the railroad track for their single “Hurts So Bad, (But It Feels So Good)”. I hear a train a comin...
Country twang groove banging down the highway screaming out the window. An energetic dog that takes a moment to relax in the sun.
