Judith Owen

That Judith Owen‘s new album Ebb & Flow evokes the spirit of the halcyon days of the great 1970s troubadours is neither surprising nor is it accidental.

In a set of potent songs about love and loss, pain and joy, dreams and despair, the Welsh singer-songwriter fearlessly explores the duality of the human condition – and to do justice to the songs she turned to the legendary musicians who created the seventies troubadour sound.

Between them her core band of drummer Russ Kunkel, bassist Lee Sklar and guitarist Waddy Wachtel played on many of the landmark albums from the era, including Carole King‘s Tapestry, James Taylor‘s Sweet Baby James, Joni Mitchell‘s Blue, Jackson Browne‘s Running On Empty and countless others, and were recently featured in an article in Rolling Stone magazine celebrating their unsung contribution to musical history.

The songs on Ebb & Flow touch on the deepest emotions of Owen’s own storied life with an unswerving honesty. But although her songs are highly personal, the emotions are universal. They can be dark; and yet they are also full of wonder, a celebration of the resourcefulness of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

The Daydream Club

Adam Pickering and Paula Walkers are The Daydream Club – an acoustic duo with trademark girl/boy harmonies that are layered authentically over southern tinged steel string and strums. New double EP release ‘Found’ & ‘Found (Remixed)’ is available now, following a recent hugely successful fan funding campaign that saw fans pledge money for songwriting lessons, bespoke cover versions and even a personalised song the band are now ready to launch this self produced EP.
