ABOUT US

ABOUT US

Farmer & The Owl is a record label based and music publisher in Wollongong, Australia. Originally established with the intention to help the wealth of talent from our local area and release their music to a wider audience. The label’s first signing was Hockey Dad, a Windang based duo who released their debut EP in November 2014.

Farmer & The Owl has since grown into a full label operation, with global partner BMG coming on board in late 2019 to assist in taking our artists to an international market. We also run a publishing company called FO PAS also in partnership with BMG. Though we have developed, our intention remains the same – to assist the artists that surround us (now local & beyond) and to release their music to a wider audience.

We have also previously alongside our artists curated the Farmer & The Owl Festival that has hosted artists such as Hot Chip, Beach House, Snail Mail, Deafheaven, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, Sleaford Mods, Weyes Blood, The Murlocs, Stella Donnelly & many more. The last edition was in early 2020 and we hope to make a return one day!

Farmer & The Owl is owned by Ben Tillman (Yours & Owls partner) and Jeb Taylor (Music Farmers co-owner) with FO PAS Publishing side of things also including Adam Smith (Yours & Owls partner) as a co-owner. The company is operated under the guidance of label manager Kate Marning.

Yours & Owls is a promoter of live music in the Illawarra and runs an annual festival.
