Eddie Owen Presents: Sam Mooney and TOWNE

Sam Mooney and TOWNE are due to take on the Red Clay Music Foundry stage as presented by Eddie Owen Presents in Beautiful Downtown Duluth on October 26th.

At only 21 years old, Sam Mooney has already become a #1-selling iTunes Singer/Songwriter, performed from Los Angeles to Boston, and won the nation’s largest amateur youth talent competition. His soulful brand of pop music has earned critical and commercial success and has drawn comparisons to artists such as John Mayer, Eric Hutchinson, Maroon 5, and Andy Grammer.

In 2013, Mooney burst onto the Mississippi music scene by winning several talent shows in the state. In May of that year, Mooney’s performances earned him an invitation to compete in the Mid-South Fair Youth Talent Competition, which is hailed as the nation’s largest amateur youth talent competition. Out of thousands, Sam was one of over 250 who were selected to make the trip to Memphis to compete at the fair in September. Mooney’s powerful performance propelled him all the way to being named the 2013 Grand Award Winner which earned him $2,000 and a trip to Los Angeles to tour CBS Studios and meet with entertainment industry professionals.

In the spring of 2014, he teamed up with BlueSky Studios producer/engineer Casey Combest to record his debut EP, Somewhere in Between. On July 15th, 2014, Somewhere in Between was released internationally. Within hours of the release, the EP began a remarkable rise to the top of the iTunes Singer/Songwriter Chart. The album reached #1 on the iTunes Singer/Songwriter EP Chart and additionally reached the Top 10 of the Singer/Songwriter Albums Chart. The EP went on to spawn three particularly successful singles: "Heartbreaker," "The Love You Never Knew," and "Somewhere in Between."

TOWNE is a Nashville-based powerhouse duo consisting of Pennsylvania bred, music theater geek Steevie Steeves and straight-from-Kentucky, former bassist for punk-rock band, The Pink Spiders, Jon Decious. The two talents unexpectedly crossed paths at Skip Ewing’s Horse and Writer Seminar in Wyoming where they immediately connected musically. Not long after they met, they realized they both lived behind the liquor store on 8th in the heart of Music City, yet they had to travel thousands of miles to find out they were meant to make music together.

When they began writing together, TOWNE’s sound started taking shape. The power and passion behind their harmonies and lyrics was incomparable to anything they had experienced as musicians.

Their unique sound mixes homegrown sentiment with dive bar rock-n-roll. The organic blend of their soulful edge with Americana southern roots makes them extremely unique. The iconic 60’s influences of Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, and Carole King shine through their voices in every performance.
