For fans of: Damien Rice, Ben Howard, Bob Dylan

IT has been a groundbreaking year for young singer-songwriter Dan Owen.

The 23-year old has gone from playing in back rooms of pubs to a run of high profile festivals dates, including Glastonbury.

Dan quickly created a stir in the music scene after being described by Mick Fleetwood, of Fleetwood Mac, as being 'at the forefront of the new wave in British singer-songwriter talent'.

The Shrewsbury resident also went on to win Best Young Artist at the British Blues Awards.

Now Dan has also been handpicked for the Communion New Faces Tour and is supporting Rae Morris at 12 dates across the country.
