Baton Rouge songbird Susan Owens has had a chameleon-like musical career, emerging in the late 7o’s as a kind of new-look folkie, & gradually growing into a masterful interpreter of the blues, Cajun funk & rockin’ r&b. Coupled with a warm & friendly stage presence, she charmed audiences with her sweet, emotive voice & energetic live performances. Flash forward to 2006 & she’s emerged with her first CD, chock full of supporting performances by an impressive range of well known song-writers, singers & session players. Armed with a top-flight studio band & a thoroughly glamorous new look, the once earthy hippie has emerged as a ready-for-prim time performer in complete command of her repertoire. Featured players on this disc include bassist Doug Brouseau, drummer Floyd Saizon, legendary saxophonist Sed Sedlack, super-flutist Betsy “The Jazz Nurse†Braud & multi instrumentalist Bill Guess on clarinet. Among the highlights of Tanging the Hump’s 12 songs is a duet with world-class singer Duke Bardwell, who joins Owens on “Since I Fell For You.†Recorded at Johnny Palazzotto’s Main Street Studio, Tanging is a satisfying experience in every sense of the word. Here’s hoping Owens continues to record & join her talent with others. Reviewer: R. U. Eddy Gris Gris Rouge.
This classic rock party band guarantees joie de vivre in abundance! Whether you're a Baby Boomer or a Generation "Y" child, SUSAN OWENS & TIME WARP play timeless songs by artists like the Beatles, Stevie Nicks & Pink Floyd. Baton Rouge home grown talent, Owens makes smart song choices - using perhaps her woman's intuition to woo the crowd to the dancefloor. Rather than depend on some of the most popular & overplayed cover songs of the 60's & 70's, Susan carefully selects hit songs that are both fun to dance to & memorable. It's hard to be surprised by most classic rock cover bands, but Susan Owens & Time Warp have a reputation for making the old seem brand new again.
The music business has always been challenging for females in the industry, even in South Louisiana. Call her a survivor or just a kick-ass musician & singer, but this lady has earned her trophy in the Baton Rouge Music Hall of Fame. Susan Owens started singing & playing in Baton Rouge in the 70's. Keenly intuitive & highly intelligent, she has by far the best & most extensive song list in the city. Like her talent, she evolves her music continually & plays a broad spectrum of genres. From Alternative to Zydeco, there's nothing this lady can't play & sing. Her band has some of the most seasoned musicians in the Capitol City in it. Harmonies are always solid, but more than anything else, this band just knows how to nurture a crowd....leave it to a woman to make sure of that!
