.About the Band
RICHIE OWENS AND THE FARM BUREAU
Fans of '80s Nashville rock will remember Owens and guitarist Robert Ocker from the tense, modern sounds of The Movement, but the East Tennessee natives have pursued a rootsier, more acoustic sound for well over a decade now.
As The Farm Bureau, Owens plays banjo, mandolin and harmonica, while Ocker trades between his acoustic and lap steel guitars,
They play spiked-up mountain music and melodic, sweet-toned originals that show off Owens' melodic and lyrical know-how.
A relative of Dolly Parton's, Owens comes by this music honestly, and the fact that Parton uses him as a producer and a backing musician in the studio and on the road speaks of his talent for putting it across.
