Dan Owen
Dan was born on the 11th of May 1992 in the market town of Shrewsbury in England, Shropshire, UK.
As a young boy Dan grew up overlooking fields, making fires, building dens and enjoying life in the country.
Dan did not particularly enjoy school and took to the guitar at the age of 9. Through music, Dan found that he could express himself, and his affinity with the guitar started when introduced to the Blues by his teacher, Richard Pharo. Dan’s guitar skill and understanding of the Blues continued to develop through his school years Read Full BioDan was born on the 11th of May 1992 in the market town of Shrewsbury in England, Shropshire, UK.
As a young boy Dan grew up overlooking fields, making fires, building dens and enjoying life in the country.
Dan did not particularly enjoy school and took to the guitar at the age of 9. Through music, Dan found that he could express himself, and his affinity with the guitar started when introduced to the Blues by his teacher, Richard Pharo. Dan’s guitar skill and understanding of the Blues continued to develop through his school years, playing in various bands and as part of a duo supporting his older sister Claire on open mic nights around the county.
When Dan left school he undertook a joinery apprenticeship with the ambition of becoming a professional guitar maker. Unfortunately, this was cut short following a tragic accident in the workshop involving his eye. Although no cosmetic signs remain, he suffered severe damage to the retina resulting in continued deterioration of his sight. Dan now looks back at this as a pivotal moment. It was to alter the course of his life permanently.
After seeking solace in the Blues to deal with the aftermath of his accident, Dan decided he would pick himself up and embark upon a full-time music career. The support from his family, along with the encouragement of local musicians and manager Tony Skeggs, spurred Dan on to broaden his horizons and experiment with singing. To the astonishment of himself and others, a voice emerged which has resulted in the label 'Blues Boy Dan'.
Word in the local Blues community began to spread, and throughout 2011 Dan found himself gigging twice a week, leading to a video posting on Youtube of his performance of the “Ballad of Hollis Brown”. The video attracted the attention of Mick Fleetwood of Fleetwood Mac who tracked Dan down and has since become Dan’s mentor.
Dan will be travelling to Nashville in April this year, to record with Grammy award winning producer Vance Powell (Kings Of Leon, Jack White, Willie Nelson), he will also be performing at Glastonbury, and starts a world tour with ZZ Top as support act in June.

Dan Owen Lyrics
(Oh oh)
(Oh oh hey)
It's a long way down
I can bare keep the weight from the edge
And it's a slow burn out
Like a fires that rage in my head
And it's a slow cry out
When you've got so many tears you could die
And it's a long time to wait
When you take all my tears away
My body is colder
Time is frozen
All these feelings that poison my soul
And in silence
No I can't stand it
Please break these chains in hell I can hideaway
You're my one way out
And I know I got to take it
I try to change
It's a long way down
And I know I can make it
It's a slow burn out
Like the fires that burns in my soul
It's a cold dry town
When I got no where to go
My body is colder
Time is frozen
All these feelings that poison my soul
And in silence
No I can't stand it
Please break these chains in hell
I can hideaway
You're my one way out
And I know I got to take it
I try to change
It's a long way down
But I feel I can make it and hideaway
You're my one way out
And my tears won't save me now
Save me now
I can't stand it
All this loneliness
I feel I can do this alone
Need someone to
Remind my feelings
That have fallen down out the door
I can hideaway
You're my one way out
And I know I got to take it
I try to change
It's a long way down
But I feel I can make it and hideaway
You're my one way out
And I know I can make it and hideaway
It's a long way down
My tears won't save me now
It's a long way down
I keep bagging away from the edge
And it's a slow burn out
Like the fires that rage in my head
