“06880” Podcast: Owen Daniel

Owen Daniel is the youngest guest we’ve ever welcomed to our “06880” podcast.

The Weston High School senior balances schoolwork* with performing, songwriting and producing music events.

His songwriting draws inspiration from artists like Noah Kahan, Lewis Capaldi and Olivia Rodrigo, blending introspective lyrics with an acoustic sound.

This fall, Owen heads to Berklee College of Music in Boston. Before he goes — and the world learns about him — he stopped by the Westport Library, for a wide-ranging chat.

It was a great morning. My only regret is I forgot to ask him to bring his guitar.

Click here or below to hear Owen’s take on his life, his music, and the performing and recording world in general.

*Though as a 2nd semester senior, that’s probably now just an abstract concept.
