Country Roads At Acanteen: Owen Morten and Eleri

Owen Morton is a Liverpool-based country singer who brings a fresh perspective to the scene with his silky smooth cowboy vocals and an electrifying presence - all wrapped up in friendly scouse charm.

Owen casts a wide net when it comes to his musical influences. However, 2025 will see him zeroing in on his passion for neo-traditional style country music - reminiscent of artists like Cody Johnson, Wade Bowen and Zach Top.

Whilst finding his stylistic feet in his first year as an artist, Owen delivered an exciting folk and country-pop discography that touches upon the highs and lows of real life, giving listeners a versatile and relatable musical experience. This amassed over 400,000 Spotify streams and a fanbase that continues to grow thanks to singles like “One More Shot”, “Leave Me Alone” and “Cowboy Dreams”.

With no sign of slowing down, this part-time sailor/part-time country singer is creating waves in the industry that are being felt on both sides of the Atlantic.

Eleri Angharad is a country and pop artist from Swansea, Wales. Inspired by a North American road trip where she performed in Nashville, Chicago and New York; Eleri writes and performs music that captures the traditional country music storytelling with catchy pop melodies. She draws influences from James Taylor, Kacey Musgraves, Taylor Swift and many more from that roadtrip.
