Owner of the Sun

In 2011, the future members of OWNER OF THE SUN were gathered together by Atlanta musician Mike LaSage to be part of the band "Mike LaSage & The Stumbling Troubadours". The band formed a musical and personal kinship as they played several shows around Atlanta and North Carolina before going on hiatus. In 2012, former “Stumbling Troubadours” guitarist Keith Laguna wrote a few new songs with inspiration from artists like Townes Van Zandt and George Jones. After floating some of the demo’s through his group of friends, he started slowly recruiting his former band mates back together to start making full band versions of the demos. A few basement practice sessions generated some creative sparks and soon enough Mekenzie Jackson and Brad Boulet were adding their own songs to the mix. With Patrick Cochran in place to add his unique drum sound and 3 singer/songwriters to front the band, they hit the road to play a series of shows in front of North Carolina and Atlanta crowds that highlight their mix of Country, Rock and Roll, and Bluegrass music.
