British born singer-songwriter and musician Matt Owens first came to prominence as a founder member of indie-folk band Noah and the Whale. Releasing four albums, Noah and the Whale achieved huge success in the UK and overseas, selling over one million albums in the UK alone. Matt’s debut solo album, Whiskey and Orchids, is an album that oozes Americana with its campfire storytelling told mainly on acoustic guitar and piano, reflecting the songwriting skills of some of Matt’s favourite artists Ryan Adams, Jason Isbell and Warren Zevon. Guest appearances include Thea Gilmore, Rob Vincent, Michael Blair and Paul Beavis. Acclaimed musician and producer Nigel Stonier has produced the album.
