Dean Owens

UK ARTIST OF THE YEAR, UK ALBUM OF THE YEAR Americana UK Readers Poll 2021, 2022, 2023

Join award winning Scottish singer songwriter Dean Owens for an evening of songs and stories, from his extensive 10 album back catalogue.

A spellbinding live performer, armed with a searingly soulful voice, skilfully crafted songs and earworm inducing melodies, and a wealth of stories from a life on the road.Hard to pin down to a particular genre, Dean’s songs are aunique blend of Americana and Scottish roots-the unfettered enthusiasm of a rock n roller combined with the sympathetic delivery of folk’s best storytellers.

Hisfans include authors Irvine Welsh and Ian Rankin, and BBC legend Bob Harris. Dean’s travels have taken him from Scotland’s post industrial heartlands to the panoramic vistas of the US deserts where he recorded his latest album Sinner’s Shrine with desert noiricons Calexico, adding nuancesof Latin notes to his musical palette.
