Artist/Album Of The Year 2022 – Americana UK Readers’ Poll

Let award-winning Scottish troubadour Dean Owens and his band transport you to a sepia stained downtown cantina with songs from his stunning new Sinner’s Shrine album (recorded with musicians from Calexico), and from his extensive back catalogue – a unique blend of Scottish roots and Americana, with added desert noir.

The Sinners make a glorious, brass infused, driving sound with Craig Ross (electric guitar), Adam McMillan (bass), and featuring The Meerkat Horns (aka Philip Cardwell and Chuck Dearness on trumpets) with Dean’s searingly soulful voice upfront. They conjure the magical panoramic sweep of the US desert states, infused with grit and dust from Scotland’s post industrial heartland. Songs of love and lust, sinners and saints, the displaced, the wanderers and the border ghosts.

Fun and melancholy intertwined.

• Owens sings with a dark majesty that matches the gigantic emotional pull of his songs… dirt caked desert noir **** Mojo

• a wild and swampy romp... Had the audience transfixed... Americana UK
