Owen Temple

"an artful shot of reality, as told through the memory and perspective of a traveler with perhaps more questions than answers. Drawing on the current socio-economical climate, Temple has crafted an album that will remind many that story-telling can be relevant and revealing when looking into times of crisis."

Twangville, June 30, 2009

“a finely honed lyrical sense, a wry sense of humor, and a knack for blending melancholy melodies with ingenious wordplay that can conceal as much as it reveals... his ability to deliver telling insights without resorting to clichÈs or obvious images marks him as an original voice.”

All Music Guide

Playing off North America’s regions, travel album delivers concept richly. “It’s a perfect soundtrack for an Independence Day weekend.
