Josh Owen has just returned from his first international tour (NZ) and is plannning a wider assualt on international stages due to reorders flowing in from their new Japanese distribution deal!

“The Melbourne based talented funk trio Josh Owen Band is full of funk, reggae, and roots taste. Josh’s melodic and funky tunes remind me of Prince (Josh sounds like he inherited Prince’s DNA for musical talent), and his laid-back melody has hooks of “Surf Music”. I can’t wait to listen to their upcoming studio recording album.”
