Live Looping - Fingerstyle Guitar - One Man Band :D

Owen Costello’s performances are a unique blend of musical styles, filled with positive energy and featuring live looping, fingerstyle and blues guitar, along with original lyrics that are both thought-provoking and uplifting.

“Owen is a great entertainer. Awesome vocals, guitar playing, and smooth leads that blend perfectly with his creativity in building beats and loops. He’s also a talented songwriter. I’m very impressed with the catalog of songs he’s written. I’ve had Owen perform at my farmers’ market numerous times, and it’s always a pleasure when he can be there. I’d recommend Owen to anyone looking for music for any occasion.”
—Kalima, Director of Pure Kona Green Market, Captain Cook, Hawaii

Owen’s music is a dynamic fusion of global philosophies, personal challenges and solutions, and influences from a wide variety of genres and eras—from folk to funk, fingerstyle to bossa nova, and Hawaiian slack key to hip hop. At one of his shows, audiences can expect to dance, laugh, reflect, and leave with words that inspire personal growth.

Growing up surrounded by acoustic guitars, Owen's musical journey began when his father taught him his first chord. From a young age, he dreamed of traveling and writing original music. Over time, music became more than a passion—it became his healer, his truth, and his source of joy.

After struggling with depression and anxiety, Owen discovered that creating melodies and chords was not just artistic expression, but a form of meditation. His approach to music is deeply intuitive, focusing on body, breath, and allowing melodies to emerge naturally. This shift transformed music into a tool for personal healing and growth.

Now, Owen's mission is to share this transformative power with others. Through his music, he hopes to inspire his audience to take the next step in their own journeys—facing fears, overcoming internal battles, and embracing happiness, health, and freedom.

His songs reflect his own challenges and the path to healing, offering a message of love, resilience, and the pursuit of an intentional, authentic life.

“Owen did a great job entertaining the crowds at our 15th Annual Misquamicut Beach Fall Festival, and I would highly recommend him for any event or festival! He is a talented and engaging musician.”
—Caswell Cooke, Executive Director of Misquamicut Business Association

“He came with all of his equipment and set it up seamlessly. He performed several original songs and built the production up from scratch using a loop machine in real time. We, the audience, thoroughly enjoyed the process and were impressed with the way he tied all of the sounds together before singing and playing guitar over the entire loop! What a treat!”
