-BIG SKY MOUNTAIN-
Six women, a kaleidoscope of harmonies, driving rhythms and fierce musicality. It’s chaotic. It’s earthy. It’s Big Sky Mountain.
With a sound reminiscent of The Eagles, Fleetwood Mac and a pinch of Kacey Musgraves, these ladies can sing, and they’ll hold you ransom with their jaw dropping harmonies.

Owen Campbell & The Cosmic People are alternative blues and soulful cosmic rock at its best. Inspired by the tempo of the ocean, Owen’s sound is best described as smoldering guitar work running from bluesy riffs and soulful finger-picking to lap steel guitar solos using a shot glass slide, gritty caramel vocals and a sublime rhythm section.
