Owen Eichensehr & Pat Harrington

Over the years, Owen Eichensehr has become a sought after hired gun on the drum kit and guitar, having gigged and recorded with dozens of Western New York’s heaviest hitting roots musicians (many of whom are Buffalo Music Hall of Famers). These include, but are certainly not limited to: JJ White, Jeremy Keyes, Willie May, Hayden Fogle, Jay Moynihan (Buddy Guy), Robert “Freightrain” Parker, Jony James, Tommy Z, Doug Yeomans, and Sharon Bailey, to name a few. 

Though largely self-taught, he did take a short stint of lessons with finger lakes-based guitar instructor Ken Erway. According to Eichensehr, while his time with Ken was short, he learned some invaluable finger picking techniques which he still uses extensively in his playing today. 

Upon graduation from high school, Eichensehr relocated to Buffalo, New York and began to work his way into the vast local music scene. It was during this era that he began to explore his abilities as a vocalist and writer and joined the first of what would be many bands.   

In 2017, Eichensehr was referred by notable Buffalo based drummer Ray Hangen (Sean Costello, Bruce Katz) to former Levon Helm and The Barnburners harp player Chris O’leary for several tours including a twelve-day stint to Europe.

Originally from Western NY, Harrington made his home in Memphis, TN for 5 years where he toured full-time nationally and internationally with The Train as well as several other of the Blues world’s most notable names.

When not on the road, Harrington became a sought-after guitarist on the local scene playing countless gigs around town as he became a student of the soulful sounds that have long been synonymous with Memphis music. It was during those formative years that Harrington truly began crafting his own unique voice and style as a guitarist, bringing in his many different musical influences, from Jazz and Funk to Bluegrass and Country flavors. He has since become a part of the national conversation as one of the most inspiring, versatile and distinctive players in the American Roots music genre today.
