Iowa born songwriter, Alex Bergan first plunged into music at the young age of 15. Like many artists, he’s navigated through countless avenues trying to find the most honest and authentic version of his sound. Once a successful formula was found, it didn’t take long until he’d open for artists such as Nathaniel Rateliff, Terry Reid, Vintage Trouble, Todd Day Wait, John Butler, Riley Downing (The Deslondes), Clem Snide and Kenny Loggins, to name a few. Now residing in San Diego, byway of a ten-year Naval career, Alex has made his mark within that scene. In 2023, he earned a nomination from the San Diego Music Awards for ‘Best Folk/Acoustic Album’ with nods to his EP, My Notebook. In 2024, Alex put another notch in the belt with a San Diego Music Award win for his acclaimed single, Unpromised Land. He landed a 2025 SDMA win for his tune, Ghost in the Addict. Alex has also been nominated in San Diego Magazine’s “2025 People of the Year” for Best Singer / Songwriter and Best Male Vocalist. Alex’s debut album, “Undercover” is out now and features a wide array of friends and guest singers. Among that list are David Ramirez, Francis Blume, Ash Easton and Justin John Rodriguez.

“He’s got the kind of stories worthy of a best-selling memoir – and when your ears latch onto Garrett Owen‘s “Sad Eyed Son” for the first time, you’ll notice a definite difference, right off the bat. Garrett Owen is the consummate artist – a poet’s poet and a player with a style all his own. His love-at-first-listen new record arrives in February – each song conveying an astute wisdom and vision beyond his years."  -Glide Magazine - “Owen often turns to sadder subject matter for his songs. But though there is melancholy laced throughout much of his songwriting, there is also something sweet and comforting about Owen’s voice that lets you know things just may work out alright. The ability to strike this balance is front and center on Owen’s new EP Sad Eyed Son. The album finds Owen embracing the rich tradition of Texas songwriters while forging his own path with poignant emotional narratives." - KKXT “He’s an agile, intricate, accomplished guitar player who sings honey-dipped melodies about devastating turns of events. His pain soothes listeners, his performances leave audiences paralyzed."  -Dallas Observer
