Dean Owens is an award-winning, consummate live performer, with a searingly soulful voice and a wealth of stories, earworm inducing melodies and songs; the heart of a rock n roller and the spellbinding delivery of folk’s best storytellers. His most recent album, 2022’s Sinner’s Shrine (recorded in Tucson with members of Calexico) has been pulled in superlative-laden reviews from publications throughout Europe, described as an intoxicating, innovative, perfect, “marriage made in heaven” collaboration. There are stories of love and lust, sinners and saints, the displaced, the wanderers and the border ghosts. With Sinner’s Shrine he has added desert noir and Latin nuances to his already extensive musical palette (with his influences ranging across country, classical, punk and indie, through jazz, folk and rock). His current band The Sinners – a hugely talented, tight ensemble includes electric guitar, bass and trumpet. He is a Scotsman with deep roots in the American West. Don’t miss a chance to hear this extraordinary talent. Advance discount tickets $25, available only from the box office at 207-633-5159 (open Wed – Fri from 10-2).
