Enchanting alt-folk

We Became Owls: An Alternative Americana band from Oakland, CA. Songwriter Andrew Blair and multi-instrumentalist Ross Warner began creating, writing, and composing music together in middle school. Influenced by the sound of Greenwich Village in the 60’s, the Texas of Van Zandt and Earl, and more contemporary acts like Wilco, Damien Jurado, Drive by Truckers, and Jeff Buckley, We Became Owls recalls a sound heard in the jukes, front porches, barns, and hillsides of a long forgotten era.

We Are The West: The LA based duo has been referred to as “a two-man orchestra of stunning vocals, meditative guitar, and exploratory double bass,” and create an amazing sound that is absolutely engaging.
