Mike Kinsella has been on quite a journey: in addition to playing alongside his brother Tim in indie stalwarts like Cap'n Jazz and Joan of Arc, the younger singer/songwriter has staked out his own territory, both with post-emo instrumentalists American Football and as a solo artist. Under the name Owen, he offers a slight variation on soft indie/emo rock, showing off his compositional prowess by adding a bit of Elliott Smith edge to arrangements rife with inspired acoustic guitar, drum, piano, and string flourishes. He plays tonight alongside former Rainer Maria songstress Caithlin de Marrais.
