   About Joel Owen - New Album Track Up!

Joel Owen is a twenty one year old singer songwriter hailing from Leicester now living and making his mark in London.

Having been actively involved with music from a young age, it was in 2005 that Joel first began writing and performing his uniquely distinctive form of soulful, acoustic folk-blues. Immediately impressing local crowds across the midlands, by 2006 Joel had released his first album on ‘Musician Records’, an independent label based in Leicester.

After a sell out opening night for the release of his album ‘One Of Those Days’ Joel begun to establish his name on the acoustic circuit in Leicester and over the following two years picked up a host of, ‘The next big thing’ and ‘Artist Of The Month’ accolades, performed across the country representing the ‘Leicester Music Scene’ and went onto play three of the midlands biggest festivals. Performances at ‘The Big Session’ and ‘City Acoustic and Blues’ festivals both held at De Montfort Hall were well received and last summer he opened the Summer Sundae festival with a performance accompanied by percussion and saxophone.

The last eighteen months have been busy for Joel as his influences have continually changed both in music and in life. The idea’s of what could be possible by introducing a band to his songs soon began to form and Joel set about utilising the talent of several other renowned Leicester musicians and putting together the band which played alongside him on the new album, ‘Love and Music’.

With an October release date for the album fast approaching, excitement has begun to build amongst his ever growing fan base. A surge in air time on Leicester Sound and Demon Fm, a live session and interview on BBC Radio Leicester, backing from music and culture magazine ‘From Dawn 2 Dusk’ and features in the Leicester Mercury have enabled Joel’s music to reach a wider spread audience and further confirmed that the immediately recognizable vocal and musical sound described by one reviewer as ‘new age blues’ is one becoming well known to many.

A passionate performer in both full band and solo set up’s, playing regularly with and without the band across the midlands and the capital, and having recently signed with ‘Coffee Artists’ booking agency, now is an exciting time to know about Joel Owen.

'Joel Owen's songs remind you what it feels like to be alive' - Damien St John (Leicester Sound Radio)

'Exceptional guitar accompanied by a uniquely talented voice' - Raegan Oates (FD2D Magazine)

that's a lot of questions! I did a A Level in Literature, Arts, Languages and Philosophy. I love reading plays and I am curious. I read this one per 'hasard' and prefered it a lot to Sartre's essais to be honest. I love his plays. I am very interested in the impact of the WW1 and WW2 on Art and Society. I am specialised in cinema though. I am in my second year of teaching training (NQT). Yes, tell me when you've read it, I'd be very happy to speak with you about your readings and finds. It is quite unusual to meet people in England who have that center of interest, I have to say. 
Could let me know at what time your think you're playing on Saturday so that we come and support you? French are not good with timimg...
A samedi. x

Hey hey, sorry for dashing off yesterday but we both had work in the morning and had to trek across town, etc. Anyway, you were fucking great eh! Can't get over how good your voice is, effortless Jeff Buckley-esque stuff. Jealous! How did you feel it went? Take care, Ally x

Oops!  Voila! 

Did you know this one? I'm sure it has been translated in many languages as it illustrates very clearly Existentialism: 'L'Enfer, c'est les autres'... 
Hope you've had a lovely week and I wish you an excellent weekend.
Mine was good, a new week at school done teaching gender agreement, culture and grammar was fun.
Now it's Friday and that's even better!
A bientot.
