Judith Owen with special guest Alice Russell

Judith Owen has boldly followed her muse, independently releasing recordings that have captivated fans, fellow artists and the most discerning critics. She has been featured by NBC’s “Today Show” and NPR’s “Weekend Edition Sunday” and lauded by The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, USA Today, The Washington Post and many others. 

Equal parts musicality, personality and wit, Owen’s music combines pop, rock, jazz, classical, R&B and theatrical influences. Variety effusively described her as “a charmer and a seducer, a rocker and a jazz chanteuse.” The Los Angeles Times has described Owen as “a drier, hipper Norah Jones who is whip smart, soulfully cool and deeply introspective.” And from a recent Boston Globe Arts cover story: “Owen’s voice is gorgeous. It’s a phenomenally forthright instrument that whispers when necessary and wails when the moment calls for candor.”

Owen is especially beloved for her live performances. Reviewing her at NYC’s legendary, The Living Room, The New York Times’ Stephen Holden raved that she “…has the kind of wailing folk-jazz voice that slices away surfaces to touch vulnerable emotional nerve endings and leave you quivering.” His continued appreciation of Owen’s artistry and performances compelled him to write the very revealing 2009 New York Times feature story chronicling her musical journey and triumph over depression.
