During the Valley Music Fest, we had the chance to sit down with Colby Acuff for a thoughtful and grounded conversation rooted in songwriting, place, and purpose. Raised in Idaho, Colby shared how the landscapes and small-town experiences of the West continue to shape his honest, story-driven approach to Americana and country music. We talked about his journey from regional stages to national recognition, the importance of staying authentic in his writing, and how his songs reflect real life, hard work, and the communities that raised him. It was a meaningful discussion that perfectly matched the spirit of the Valley Music Fest and highlighted why Colby Acuff’s voice resonates so deeply with fans across the Americana and roots music world.

Owen MacDonald grew up in Cantwell, Alaska, a small settlement outside of Denali National Park with a population of 200. He spent his childhood playing ice hockey, adventuring outdoors, and learning what life looks like in a remote village. Owen first discovered his passion for music while singing in his tiny K-12 school’s choir class. At age 13, Owen started writing his own songs, using music as an outlet to cope with his parents divorce and feelings of isolation.

He moved to Minnesota to pursue hockey and completed high school with dreams of playing in the NHL. Eventually, he began to question if hockey was his true calling as his love for music re-emerged, stronger than before. He converted an old chicken coop in the back yard of his father’s property into a small studio and taught himself how to play guitar and record demos.
