Award winning Scottish singer songwriter Dean Owens is one of UK?s finest troubadours, with fans including authors Irvine Welsh (Trainspotting), Ian Rankin (whose iconic character Rebus has Dean?s CDs on playlist!) and BBC legend ?Whispering? Bob Harris.

IRVINE WELSH: Dean Owens? music and story feels like a tribute to the songs inside us, the tales of our lives, reaching into us to find the threads of our common humanity? As a vocalist Dean is possessed with a voice which soars to the exuberant highs and swoops to melancholic lows that I?ve witnessed break hearts far, far harder than mine. And it perfectly delivers those beautiful songs of love and loss, the pulse of all our lives. (From the sleeve notes for The Man From Leith)

Dean Owens is an adventurous, award winning, troubadour, and a natural wanderer. His 9 (official) acclaimed solo albums, mostly recorded in the US, have seen him collaborate with some of the most respected musicians and producers around (including Al Perkins, Will Kimbrough, Neilson Hubbard, Grant-Lee Phillips and most recently, Gaby Moreno and Latin rock legends, Calexico).

His most recent album, 2022?s Sinner?s Shrine (recorded in Tucson with members of Calexico) has been pulling superlative-laden reviews from publications throughout Europe, described as an intoxicating, innovative, perfect, ?marriage made in heaven? collaboration. 2023?S follow up (with some tracks recorded at the Sinner?s Shrine sessions, some long distance with the Calexico musicians), El Tiradito (The Curse Of Sinner?s Shrine) is a double CD release, including an all instrumental ?soundtrack for an imaginary Western?.

There are stories of love and lust, sinners and saints, the displaced, the wanderers and the border ghosts, infused with the dramatic Panavision desert sweep of Calexico, with Joey Burns? guttural guitar, John Convertino?s masterful drumming and percussion, and sweeping mariachi horns.
