Bio:
Joel Owen and The Antoine Band are a folk, blues, rag-time band from Leicester.
As a solo artist, Joel Owen performed regularly across the midlands and London throughout the last five years. Immediately impressing crowds with his uniquely distinctive form of soulful acoustic, folk-blues he released two albums on Musician Records, picked up a host of ‘Next Big Thing’ and ‘Artist of the Month’ accolades and appeared at some of the midlands biggest festivals (Summer Sundae, The Big Session, The Acoustic City and Blues Festival).
Returning from a successful solo, UK acoustic tour in April 2010 Joel began working with the various musicians who had performed on his 2009 album Love and Music and forming The Antoine Band. Following a surge of air time on local BBC radio stations, Leicester Sound and Demon Fm as well as a solo performance on BBC midlands show The Beat and media plugging from, Acoustic Magazine, Blues Matters and From Dusk 2 Dawn, 2010 started well for Joel Owen and The Antoine Band. With support slots for the likes of Mumford and Sons, Alessi’s Ark and Peggy Sue and festival performances alongside Noah and The Whale, Jose Gonzalez and Bon Iver big things are to be expected soon from this band...An eagerly awaited EP is due to be recorded later this year.

Indeed, 'tis a lovely line-up isn't it. Shame you can't make it down. Hope things are grand your ways... Still haven't forgotten about your involvement. Still have quite a way to go in terms of planning before I get the project back on the road you see.
Keep in touch matey!x

Hey j-j-j-oel, how was the rest of the tour? Things have momentarily shut down our end (deadlines, new jobs, exams) but we'll be bouncing back this summer. What are the details for the 17th? I shall be there.
Take care,
Ally
