In his original post, Don said:
The magnificent and sadly missed Will Owsley tours his second and final album, The Hard Way in this “Nashville Sunday Night” WRLT Broadcast. One of the great unacknowledged Power Pop artists, he spent most of his time as Amy Grant’s guitarist and musical director, as well as touring as lead guitarist for Shania Twain. His debut album, Owsley, was Grammy nominated. This broadcast shows what great pop he wrote and what a fine guitarist he could be. Superb show and highly recommended.

ROB SEZ: I might never have heard about Owsley and his fabulous rock-pop music if it weren't for my pals at the old ASH blog. All thanks & praise to them. (I have more to share, but need to know you're interested...)


Owsley:
Paul Eckberg - drums
Will Owsley (RIP) - vocals, guitar 
Jonathan Hamby - keyboards

  1. Thanks for this. Hope you have been able to locate music from his first band, "The Semantics." They were a fantastic power pop band.

    1. Indeed. SO sad when young talents die young, especially the way Will did. At least we can still enjoy his music...

  3. Hi

    His brother was like me on the Audities Mailing list. I still remember very well when someone posted that Owsely had killed himself. It was a shock to me. I am not sure if his brother was the one who posted it.

  5. This live concert in 2004 had Jonathan Hamby on keyboards (not John Painter).
