Shrewsbury’s own Dan Owen returns to play two headline shows at the iconic Shrewsbury Abbey this Christmas!
Known for his arresting, husky vocals and gritty, blues-infused pop/rock. Dan started at open-mic events at local pubs throughout his youth alongside his sister. After his sister left for University, Dan took to performing solo and began appearing at live events at various pubs and clubs throughout the area surrounding Shropshire. Performing under the name “Bluesboy Dan”, he gradually earned a committed fan base with his passionate versions of songs by artists such as Robert Johnson and John Lee Hooker while also focusing on writing his own material.
After a couple more years of relentless performing in which he began to include his own songs, he was signed to Atlantic Records in 2015 and put out his debut EP, Bad for Me, later that year. In 2016 he put out his second EP, Open Hands & Enemies, before a European tour with Birdy as support act. He then spent 2017 writing and recording his debut full-length effort. The album titled ‘Stay Awake with Me’ arrived in August 2018. Owen promoted the record with a U.K. and European tour that fall.
Armed with new music, we hope you can join us this Christmas for what will be our final music show to finish off 2024. Last year sold out within 48 hours – don’t be the one to miss out!
