With 2 well received Independently released CD's behind him, singer/songwriter- neil bradley owen, or “blue” as many of his close friends call him, seems to be on his way. A genuine, heartfelt, bluesy, singer/songwriter... Neil’s songs prove to be instantly memorable, with melodies and lyrics that speak to the heart......just picture if you will... a bunch of folks with guitars, harp, dobro, upright bass, sitting around on an old rustic front porch, playing and singing songs about what makes life worth living. Music that just makes you feel good. Bluesy, acoustic, soul/folk with that ever present rootsy,earthy undertone, of those warm acoustic instruments... and oh, that voice... that's Neil Bradley Owen music.
Award winning singer/songwriter- neil bradley owen, put out his first album in the early 90's, called "Just Blue."
After a move to Phoenix, songwriting began in earnest again, with a new emphasis on acoustic instruments and a bluesy soul/folk type of groove. "Front Porch Prose" was released in late 2004 with 11 originals. Think Muddy Waters meets Van Morrison... After a stint with the acoustic trio "The Bums" neil began focusing on a new solo project.
The latest release is "Peace & Harmony" (2007) - a 13 track album with 11 new neil bradley owen tunes, and 2 covers from the 60's- SuzieQ and For What It's Worth, the old Buffalo Springfield song. says neil- "this new record has a very live/studio type of feel, I love the instrument and vocal tones we were able to find". Produced by neil and producer/player Ryan Tilby, you won't want to miss this bluesy new independent release.
