Owen Reeves: A Rising Star

Owen Reeves has a rich musical heritage that began at home, influenced strongly by his parents and grandparents. With roots in bluegrass and church music, Reeves started lessons at age 7 and had his first performances at a local pageant in Louisiana and a gun show in Texas. His journey has taken him from Little River, SC, where he moved with his father in 2012, to becoming a local favorite with an impressive schedule of gigs.

Over the years, Reeves has expanded his performance calendar tremendously, growing from about 30-40 gigs a year five years ago to around 260-270 gigs this year. He has played at renowned venues like LuLu’s North Myrtle Beach, Bummz Beach Café, and RipTydz. In addition to his performance on September 10, Reeves will also be appearing at Coast Carolina University alumni tailgates on September 13 and November 29 with his band, The Owen Reeves Band.

His setlist features an eclectic mix, encompassing rock classics and signature songs like “The Devil Went Down to Georgia.” As a nod to his continuous growth, Reeves is set to record and release an EP next year, showcasing his original music for streaming platforms.
