Owls to Athens
Owls to Athens is an unsigned indie folk band from Seattle, Washington, consisting of Chris Doornink (Vocals, Guitar, Mandolin, Accordion, Glockenspiel), Matt Juel (Vocals, Guitar, Mandolin), Jon Hunt (Vocals, Bass, Accordion), and Tommy Juel (Drums). Their music is at times melodious and percussive and can be heard in various small venues around Seattle. Musical influences include Tom Waits, Death Cab for Cutie, Pinback, Stan Getz, Cake.

History
The band was formed in late 2007 by Chris Doornink, Matt Juel, and Jon Hunt. These band members met while attending Seattle Pacific University in 2003. The three had collaborated musically for friends and themselves, playing covers that were generally well-received. In 2007, all members having graduated, Chris Doornink recruited Matt Juel and Jon Hunt to join him in recording some songs that he had written. Juel also had multiple songs in the works and at this point both began to write more. These early songs culminated in the band's first EP "Sail Your Soul to Sea," recorded at Silver Bee Studios in Shoreline, Washington and released in May 2008. Months after the first EP released (for which Matt Juel had played drums), Matt Juel's brother Tommy Juel joined the band. Shortly thereafter, the band had produced enough new songs for another album. This second self-titled work was released in August 2009.
