About / Biography

"If Ed Sheeran went country" is probably the best description for my sound!


A short introduction

Hello! My name is Owen Morton. I am a 23-year-old country singer-songwriter of 8 years with an extensive discography of songs available on all streaming platforms. I was born in Liverpool, where I still live, yet I spend my days travelling up and down the UK playing real and authentic country music - all whilst releasing my own music and working a full-time job. My mission is to give the world real country music and to prove that being 'cowboy' ain't where you're from but what's in your heart.

My career as an artist

Despite only releasing music for a little over a year, I have seen immense success and traction online. In 2024, I reached 420k Spotify streams, and over 5,000 followers on Instagram, but most importantly have become a prominent name across the niche (but growing) network of UK country musicians.

What does my set look like?

I perform most of my gigs with my good friend Chuck Walton, who plays the pedal steel guitar. Being it a rare instrument, Chuck and I tend to give our country-loving audiences an unforgettable experience by combining the wonder of the steel guitar with my smooth vocals and rootsy acoustic guitar. We LOVE 90s country and so naturally, our covers set delves into that era - however we are very much able to adjust our set to suit your venue entirely.

I also use a harmony pedal making my vocals sound wider during big choruses, and a stompbox, which simulates the sound of a kick drum and never fails to get the crowd moving!

What kind of venues can I play?

I can accommodate for any such venue that requires live music. Weddings, pubs or bars, house parties, etc. You name it; I'll play it!

Can I supply my own equipment? (E.g PA system, speakers, microphones etc.)

Yes! I'm used to bringing everything myself and taking all the stress off your hands. All I require is a power source at the venue.

If it appears that I'm unavailable on your desired date, message me as I might be able to shift things around to make it work.

Technical Info

What are your basic technical requirements?

I need a power supply for my PA system if you don't have one already at the venue, and a suitable space for an acoustic performer. More space will of course be needed if you opt for the duo or band gig arrangement.


Do you provide sound and lighting equipment?

Sound yes, lighting no.


What information do you require about a venue?

I need to know any directions that will help me find the venue and find the right place to load in my equipment.


Can you provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes, I can play music through the mixer between sets. I'm happy to let the client choose or decide myself what playlist should be on.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

Myself and Chuck played London's first Honky Tonk called "Lil Nashville" in Chiswick. It was fantastic to play some real country music to a crowd of 300 at the sold out venue and to see their reaction to our set. They went crazy!!! We also earned the accolade of being the FIRST steel guitar act to ever play in London's FIRST ever honky tonk!!!


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

Neo-traditional country acts like Cody Johnson, Randall King, Zach Bryan and Zach Top are a few of the artists that come to mind when we talk inspirations. Of course, the Mount Rushmore of country heroes for me though would go to Chris Stapleton, George Strait, Brooks& Dunn & Garth Brooks. I can't give you the greatest song of all time because I would be all day, but one that comes to mind is 'Neon Moon'.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

I have been a country singer for 8 years, a session vocalist for 4, and a gigging artist for 2. I started off by doing tonnes of open mic nights, building my confidence and eventually started playing sports bars. Nowadays, I play country nights, honky tonk style bars, festivals, and shows supporting other artists.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

I play all sorts of events but my favourite is when I know I am playing for country music fans. They are always quality people!

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

I normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up and do a sound check if an engineer is on hand. I normally perform 2 x 45 minutes. I'm happy to play a bit longer or shorter, but I've found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.


Are you happy to perform outside?

Yes, as long as there is shade and a power supply close to the stage.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

It depends, if I am requested a song I know during, I can happily accommodate. Otherwise I have a set list that is made in advance of the event.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

The most common thing people tell me is that I am "Ed Sheeran, but country"
