Spring Owls, meaning “rebirth and wisdom” is the name singer/songwriter Jesse David Lacy chose after reviving his second collection of songs—Love Evolving (2021)—thanks to a successful crowdfunding campaign, raising over $10,000, and teaming up with multi-platinum winner Anthony J. Resta (Elton John, Duran Duran, Collective Soul) and multi-Grammy winner Brian Lucey (The Black Keys, Shania Twain).


The percussive acoustic guitar strumming, wistful cello, dreamy pop soundscape, and Lacy’s wholesome vocals combine to create a sound that could be described as Oasis enjoying an introspective wilderness retreat with Sufjan Stevens.


After receiving a Bachelor's in English Literature, Lacy finished his debut album First Steps (2013) with a successful crowdfunding campaign raising $1,500. For the next 4 years, Lacy performed over 300 concerts and conferences across the United States. In 2017, he took a brief hiatus—teaching English in South Korea.


“I was completely immersed into a different culture, without an instrument, bonding with my students, falling in love with non-fiction, and discovering myself without music. It wasn't easy, but perhaps for the first time, I had perspective on my life. It was nutritiously humbling."


Upon returning to the United States in 2018, Lacy moved to Los Angeles, changed the name of his music project to Spring Owls.
