Origins and Early Challenges
Wake Owl emerged from the ethereal landscapes of Vancouver, Canada, in 2009. Comprised of husband-and-wife duo Trish Klein and Mike Ramey, the band embarked on a musical odyssey that would weave together haunting melodies, evocative lyrics, and a deep connection to their natural surroundings.
Initially, Wake Owl faced the challenges common to independent artists: limited resources, uncertain bookings, and the weight of expectations. However, their unwavering passion and the raw power of their live performances gradually began to attract attention.
