DEAN OWENS:
UK Artist Of The Year 2021, 2022, 2023 (and UK Album Of The Year 2022) – Americana UK Readers’ Poll
Let award-winning Celtic troubadour Dean Owens and his talented band The Sinners transport you to a sepia stained downtown desert cantina with songs from his stunning Sinner’s Shrine album (recorded with musicians from Calexico) – a unique blend of Scottish roots and Americana, with added desert noir.
The Sinners make a glorious, brass infused, driving sound with Craig Ross (electric guitar), Philip Cardwell (trumpet) and Adam McMillan (bass), with Dean’s searingly soulful voice upfront. They conjure the magical panoramic sweep of the US desert states, infused with grit and dust from Scotland’s post industrial heartland. Songs of love and lust, sinners and saints, the displaced, the wanderers and the border ghosts.
A joyous mix of songs, banter and stories from Dean’s 10 album career and a life on the road.
Earworm inducing melodies and great songs; the heart of a rock n roller combined with the spellbinding delivery of folk’s best storytellers, with humour and melancholy intertwined.
Dean is a Green Note favourite, and this is his first London date with this special band, on the eve of their Cambridge Folk Festival debut. Book early!
