Owen Poteat is an energetic acoustic songwriter and entertainer from the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina. He specializes in playing restaurants, festivals, bars and special events, including weddings, rehearsal dinners, receptions, and other private parties. You can expect a polished, well-rehearsed performance, not just background music, but an entertaining and compelling show with content that matches your venue and need. Many have commented that "that is more music than should come from one person". At his shows you will see Owen and an acoustic guitar, his many Lee Oskar blues harmonicas, his sometimes raspy yet many times crystal clear vocals, the thump of his trademark Brazilian "Box Drum", the whack of his Pork Pie maple snare and an occasional tambourine. Each show is lively and well prepared and is filled with an appropriate mix of cover songs and originals.
