Owen Walsh has been telling stories and performing music his entire life. 

Owen began playing violin at the age of three, studying formal repertoire.  At 12 years old, he found his dad's dusty, old Epiphone guitar tucked away in a closet and taught himself how to play. Soon after he learned his first few chords, Owen began writing songs. 

He’s playing The Arts Nest Saturday in Lake Huntington and he appeared on Radio Chatskill with Tim Bruno to talk about how his upbringing in Honesdale, PA, influenced his songwriting.
