Cousin Oven started as a solo project of Brooklyn based guitarist & songwriter, Owen Bologna with no real direction or goal other than being an identity for writing and releasing concept-driven albums. His first album, A Sound View, is a collection of songs inspired by houses in his hometown, while his second album, Royale for the Dogs, depicts the curious and deranged imagery of dreams. As a songwriter, Owen pulls from his experiences as a classical trumpet player, as well as his background in jazz guitar and melds the two musical identities into a uniquely voiced alternative rock group, heavily influenced by the raw and honest recordings of bands like Big Thief, Options, and Slaughter Beach Dog.

Cousin Oven consistently performs around NYC with band members Nate Giordano and Steven McArdle. A power trio that strips down the lush studio recordings to the song’s energetic core.
