Honesdale Native Owen Walsh Returns for One-Night-Only Reunion at The Cooperage

Honesdale’s own Owen Walsh returns to his hometown for a special one-night-only performance at The Cooperage Project on April 12. The show marks a reunion with his former hometown band, O&Co, and a homecoming that’s as much about the music as it is about community, memory, and resilience.Walsh, now based in Asheville, NC, has often credited The Cooperage as the place where his musical journey truly began. Fans may remember that The Cooperage also hosted the release show for Walsh’s 2022 debut album, On My Way, a moment the singer-songwriter says still resonates deeply. Though he’s spent the past few years cultivating his sound in Asheville’s vibrant music scene, Walsh says Honesdale has remained a foundational influence. That sense of connection was tested this past year when Hurricane Helene swept through Asheville, upending the local arts community and damaging many venues.
