JUDITH OWEN – UK TOUR

Judith has just finished touring the US and Europe in support of her 12th studio, critically acclaimed ‘redisCOVERed’ (5* The Times), and performed one special sold out show at the infamous Ronnie Scotts. The album was also named as one of 2018s best albums by Sunday Times Culture.

She’s absolutely fantastic live, her artistry and balance of storytelling, humour and music has been described as “a masterclass on how a show should be done”. 

You can watch her perform Donna Summer’s ‘Hot Stuff’ live here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-i0PKNYiejg&feature=youtu.be.

Following from her critically acclaimed 2018 album ‘redisCOVERed’, firebrand singer-songwriter and pianist Judith Owen has announced a run of UK dates in October 2019, where she will be showcasing her unique interpretations of classic hits as part of her ‘Ego Non Karaoke – I don’t do karaoke’ shows. Audiences can also look forward to a preview of songs from her forthcoming album – due for release in 2020.

"I can’t believe it’s been over two years since I last toured the UK,” says Judith. “I’ve travelled the world in support of ‘redisCOVERed’, (and even learnt to swear in multiple languages), but nothing compares to coming home and sharing the new songs and stories with my British fans and friends…"

On redisCOVERed, Judith garnered critical praise for her reimagining’s of a diverse catalogue of tracks (Soundgarden’s breakthrough hit ‘Black Hole Sun’, Grease’s ‘Summer Nights’ and Deep Purples’ ‘Smoke on the Water’ to name a few) with the Daily Express saying she “has the ability to make a song her own,” in their four star review of her album. Judith’s talent stretches beyond the musical, her ability to empathise with a song and its writer allows her to place herself within its story, turning its narrative on its head and completely changing the meaning behind the lyrics.

Her biggest test was seeing herself within the very modern hip-hop of Drake’s ‘Hotline Bling’. “I said to Harry [Shearer, her husband], ‘choose the most extreme thing; something contemporary that you would think I could not relate to,’” she says. “But, of course, I can because I’ve been in that place where I was constantly waiting for the phone call that would come from the guy who would call me only when there was no one better to be around. That song became more of a torch song. That’s absolutely a woman’s song if ever there was one.”

Judith’s live performances, whether as a headliner or as the handpicked opening act for Bryan Ferry’s recent tours of Europe and North America, have been wowing listeners and gaining fans like fellow artist Jackson Browne, who said of Owen’s onstage prowess: “It’s a masterclass on how a show should be done.” Joining Judith on these shows will be master percussionist Pedro Segundo, who the Sunday Times’ describes as “the master of ‘less is more’.”
