summer gigs
Hi there.
Just had it confirmed that I'll be heading back to Crete this summer to play two solo acoustic shows at the Artemis Apartments, Stavros (just outside Chania). The dates are Saturday the 12th and 19th of July. The Artemis Apartments are lovely to stay in if you're looking for a relaxing holiday in the sun. Check out www.akrotirivillas.com for details.
I'm also doing a show in Perth, Scotland at the Concert Hall with Nanci Griffith on the 1st of August as part of their Southern Fried Festival - www.horsecross.co.uk for details.
There are some other dates in the pipeline. I will keep you posted.
Off to see Grant Lee Phillips this week in Glasgow. Been a long time since I last saw him play. Just a solo show. Should be good.
Currently loving the new Sun Kil Moon album April. Hey and the new REM record isn't bad either. A bit of a return to form for them.
Enjoy the Spring.
Cheers for now.
Dean

Dean Owens
"Dean Owens is a genuine one-off... His words are direct, unswerving and deeply personal; his lyrical clarity refreshing. Narratives are both deeply autobiographical and evocative third person - all of which work equally well... Owens has moved beyond the formula of Americana and into the wide world, which is often joyful, sometimes sad, but rarely dull. A triumph.” – Mark Robertson, List Magazine
"Dean Owens is perhaps the most engaging singer-songwriter in Scotland today.” – Irvine Welsh, NY Times
"In my sexy opinion young Dean is the Johnny Cash of Scotland so we should treat him with respect. Normal Johnny was quite hard. Imagine if he had been from Scotland, he'd've been a menace. For gods sake buy this record before he re-offends” – Russell Brand (BBC Radio 2)
"Dean Owens has soul” – Eddi Reader
"Dean's music is full of soul and tells stories that need telling, sung in a voice that keeps drawing you back in” – Will Kimbrough
