Music from the 2017 west coast tour combining the songs & playing of Owen Stewart-Robertson, Jesse Q-T, & Logan Hone


listen or download on bandcamp :)


about:
Jesse & I live in LA. Owen lived in San Francisco at the time. In a coordinated effort to play music together, we set up a DIY tour, each brought our own songs, got together in the Bay Area (where Owen lived) to rehearse for a few days, headed north, camped in Gualala, performed and tweaked the songs over the next two weeks, traveled up to the northwest, hopped the border to Vancouver, drove east through Idaho, and down through Utah where we recorded these songs in Provo with Bly Wallentine at Studio Studio Dada, and ended up back in Los Angeles. Jesse read a lot, Owen took many pictures, and I stayed up too late most nights.



featuring the songs & sounds of:
Owen Stewart-Robertson: singing & playing guitar
Jesse Q-T: singing, playing drums & pump organ
Logan Hone: singing, playing saxophone & pump organ, overdubbed bass & keyboard

guest vocals by Taylor Thompson on "I Drove Endlessly"

Here are the photos Owen took & I later painted:



































































































































Much love and thanks to all the freakin lovely friends that hosted us, set up shows, played with us, listened to us. Also to Juliet for the mind blowing chili oil and good times. And to Luke and Bly for their magic sound contributions.

EPK:
Flowers on Loan is a band teaming San Francisco-based guitarist Owen Stewart-Robertson with Los Angeles-based musicians Logan Hone and Jesse Quebbeman-Turley. With a portable Estey pump organ from 1933, group singing, whale-song guitar playing, kinetic drumming, and silver saxophone, the music is sing-song, vibrant, intuitive, sometimes somber, and ultimately, heart-felt and imaginative.

Flowers on Loan did a 2 week tour across the Western US in early summer 2017 and made an album to document the music. Owen took many pictures on the tour and Logan later painted them.
