LATE SHOW (after THE MOTH), DOORS AT 9pm 
Bones Owens is a genre bending artist who cut his teeth playing guitar in bands before stepping into the spotlight with his own raw, blues-infused sound. Raised in rural Missouri, he honed his craft in dive bars and clubs, blending gritty Southern rock with alternative and garage-style energy. His music is built on fuzzed-out riffs, driving rhythms, and anthemic hooks that feel equally at home on a backroad or a festival stage.
