Faithless Town Brings Nostalgia With “California Come Home”



Faithless Town’s California Come Home feels like a musical love letter to Los Angeles—blending acoustic rock and Americana vibes that make you want to roll down the windows and hit the open road. 


This nostalgic track looks back on frontman Gene Owens' early days living in LA with his wife, capturing the magic of falling in love with both a person and a city. It’s sun-soaked, heartfelt, and effortlessly easy to sing along with.


Known for their infectious sound and powerful performances, the Faithless Town band has built a reputation through energetic shows at iconic venues like The Whisky a Go Go and The Viper Room. “California Come Home” reflects that same spirit—an ode to California’s classic sounds, with nods to The Beach Boys and the Laurel Canyon scene.


The “California Come Home” video pairs perfectly with the song’s nostalgic vibe, offering scenic shots of beaches, amusement rides, and city highways that feel like pages from a personal scrapbook. 


Owens describes it as a snapshot of his first year in LA—a celebration of love, life, and the city’s electric charm.



Congratulations on the release of “California Come Home.” How does this song reflect where you are as a band today?


I think the song reflects a lot of what Faithless Town does really well: infectious melodies and timeless sounds, all presented in a new and unique way. 



Gene – What was it like shooting the music video for “California Come Home” across Los Angeles with your wife?


It was our first time collaborating on anything artistic, and it was a really fun experience that brought us closer together. Since then, we’ve collaborated on other music videos, some of which have received accolades from some independent film festivals. Did you have any unexpected or special moments while filming?


We learned a lot about filmmaking while shooting the video. We filmed everything on an iPhone, experimented with a gimbal for smoother shots, and used different lenses and frame rates to achieve various effects.


It was really cool to see what you can create with just an iPhone and a few affordable accessories, especially considering that in the past, such quality required expensive cameras, film, and costly editing software.



How did living in Los Angeles influence your sound and approach to songwriting?


I have always held a certain romanticism for LA and the music that has come out of that city, especially The Doors and the Laurel Canyon scene of the 1960’s.


I think my affinity for that music has definitely influenced the way I write. While living there, I also studied improv at Groundlings, which I think opened me up to new creative avenues that enhanced my writing and artistic expression.


Are there specific places or moments in the city that shaped your creative process?


There’s a quiet, often empty stretch of beach in Playa Del Rey where I used to bring my guitar to play and write. It’s the same beach where I’m performing the song in the video for “California Come Home.” Watching the waves roll in is something deeply inspiring about being by the ocean.



Your music blends Americana and rock with thoughtful lyrics. How do you balance storytelling and creating something that feels energetic and infectious?


I just try to write from an honest, personal place. Sometimes, that involves writing about my relationships or the people and places that have shaped my life; other times, it involves me observing things that are happening in the world and trying to express my thoughts and feelings about it.



With a fan-favorite song like “California Come Home” getting new attention, what can we expect from your future releases? Will California remain a source of inspiration?


I actually have a new single set to come out this December, and this one is all about my hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. So instead of surfing and sun, this one has more snow and gothic cathedrals.
