Ollee Owens Live at Club 240
About this Event
Far more than a vocal powerhouse, Calgary based Ollee Owen’s live performances are unforgettable, moving both body and soul. With the warmth of Mavis Staples, vocal intensity of Etta James and soulful delivery of Bonnie Raitt, Ollee draws on a wealth of experience, acknowledging the struggles of life while never losing sight of what truly matters. Combining her original work with unique interpretations of well-known and long-lost songs, joined by her guitarist Linden Conroy, the dynamic of Ollee’s acoustic show creates an exciting backdrop for her incredibly diverse vocal range.
“Most often described as a “powerhouse singer,” Owens is much more than the grit and growl so often borrowed from the likes of Koko Taylor and Janis Joplin. It is the honesty of her voice that grabbed me from the start and refused to let go. Warm, comforting, powerful, passionate, and straight from the heart, it goes directly to the heart of the listener. Her tunes address issues we all deal with on a regular basis and are not filled with cute little catchy phrases, gimmicks, and fluff. She makes the point that with love, faith, and the resilience of the human spirit, nothing can stand in our way.” Bill Wilson - Reflections in Blue (US 2024)
