Backstory:

Born in the cultural heart of Nashville, Tennessee, ‘Concerned Ownership’ is the musical brainchild of childhood friends – Dan Stevens, Mark Bolding, and Luke Hollis. The trio discovered their shared love for music while playing in their high school’s marching band. As they honed their skills and experimented with different genres, they found themselves gravitating towards the sincerity of Americana music and the soul-stirring lyrics of folk. Post their high school graduation in 2009, the trio decided to transform their passion into a full-time career, hence Concerned Ownership was born.

The band’s name reflects their belief in the idea of shared humanity and the collective responsibility that comes with it. Over the years, their music has become a platform for them to share their thoughts and concerns on social issues, personal relationships, and human experiences. Their harmonious blend of folk and Americana, coupled with meaningful lyrics, have resonated with audiences, making them a beloved band in the music scene.

Full song lyrics:

[Verse 1]
Em C G D
Underneath the same sky, we’re all playing our part
Em C G D
In this grand symphony, where everyone’s a work of art
Em C G D
With your heart strings and mine, we can create a melody
Em C G D
In the name of unity, let’s write our own symphony

[Chorus]
Em C G D
Strings of unity, playing our part in harmony
Em C G D
In this grand symphony, your heart strings and mine, a divine melody

[Verse 2]
Em C G D
Times may change, seasons may shift
Em C G D
But our song remains, a timeless gift
Em C G D
From your heart to mine, echoes a symphony
Em C G D
In the name of unity, let’s write our own destiny

[Chorus]
Em C G D
Strings of unity, playing our part in harmony
Em C G D
In this grand symphony, your heart strings and mine, a divine melody
