Eric Owens is an American singer and far right activist. A former racist skinhead, he has performed non-political songs at coffee shops and political anthems at nationalist rallies. Unlike many right-wing activists of his generation, Owens has chosen folk music as a means of artistic expression and usually performs Irish-inspired ballads. He has released the albums, Folk the System and Res Gestae. Based in California, Owens has led the Aryan International Movement, a non-profit organization aimed at helping whites only. He later joined the National Alliance. He is a self-professed racist, which he defines as caring about one's race first. In 2001, Owens was an employee of the Institute for Historical Review, where he opposed an alleged plan by senior staff members to sell the mailing lists to the Anti-defamation League.
