Event
Dean Owens and the Whisky Hearts
Into the Sea - the voyage continues.
Celtic Americana from Leith via Nashville
Dean Owens is one of Scotland's finest singer songwriters, with fans including Bob Harris, Ricky Ross, Irvine Welsh and Russell Brand.
Armed with a searingly soulful voice and a neat line in memorable heart-twisting melodies, Dean filters his love of Americana through a gritty yet lyrical Scottish sensibility. A compelling and engaging live performer, with an innate ability to connect with any audience, with an emotional hurricane of stories and songs.
In his early career Dean was the front-man of the much loved Scottish Americana band The Felsons. His music has taken him far and wide, including Europe, USA and Australia. He has played shows and toured with the Mavericks, Steve Earle, Emmylou Harris, Joan As Policewoman, John Hiatt and Nanci Griffith. Recently opened for Rosanne Cash at London's Union Chapel (July 2015).
His new album (his sixth solo) - Into the Sea - was recorded in Nashville (with producer Neilson Hubbard) and released in May 2015, to rave 4 and 5 star reviews and claims of "best yet". Recent radio sessions include Bob Harris Country (BBC Radio 2), Iain Anderson Show and Ricky Ross Another Country (BBC Radio Scotland).
His Whisky Hearts Band is a mighty all star line-up, who can rock up a storm!
This is what Ricky Ross (BBC Radio Scotland/Deacon Blue) had to say about the last Dean Owens and the Whisky Hearts Glad Cafe gig - "Magical" -

SUPPORT
Martha L Healy
Half-Irish, half-Scottish Martha's journey from playing solo in her hometown of Glasgow, to recording her debut album in Nashville, Tennessee, is an inspiring story of a girl who has stuck to her guns, remained true to the music she was brought up on and dared to dream.
Her album, Better Days, is an uplifting debut full of high energy roots cut with soul, gospel and Cajun inflections which showcase her powerful voice.
"Reminiscent of vintage Linda Ronstadt." Blabber 'N' Smoke
