Lang Owen

South Carolina singer songwriter Lang Owen writes songs about something that seems like nothing but feels like everything. Writing from the perspective of individuals' imagined interior lives, Owen captures characters navigating modern-day America with resilience and measured hope. Kyle Petersen of the Post & Courier Free Times writes “stocked with empathetic details and balancing present uncertainty with quiet strength, Owen’s characters feel like fully-realized protagonists.” Lang releases his third album, Cosmic Checkout Lane, in April 2024, his second collaboration with musician/producer Todd Mathis. “Cosmic Checkout Lane is about living mindfully through our wisdom, strengths, and connections to others at any moment, including standing in a grocery store checkout line,” Lang says.

Lang released his debut album Welcome To Yesterday in 2019, which Jasper Project Music Writer Kevin Oliver hailed as “evocative storytelling at its finest.” The Post & Courier Free Times included Welcome to Yesterday on its “But What About THIS Album” list in their Best South Carolina Music 2019 edition. In 2022 Lang released his sophomore album, She’s My Memory, which the Free Times ranked sixth on its The Best of South Carolina Music 2022 list.
