“When I was in my late teens, my mom taught me three chords on the guitar and said, ‘Now you can put music to the poems you write because that’s what we do in this family.’” Singer, songwriter, and a poet blessed with an unusual degree of perception, Jada Star is more than living up to her given name of “Star” with songs that stay true to her own musical path while expanding the scope of her family legacy.

Singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, record producer, recording engineer, radio DJ, luthier, film director, music business entrepreneur and innovator, country, bluegrass, alternative rock, power pop, blues, Americana — name it and Richie Owens has probably done it or played it in his incredible career, and he’s still doing it all while staying true to the family tradition.
