Scottish Sunshine

Hi from a very sunny Edinburgh.

Just waiting on the master copy of my new album to arrive. Then it's time to start looking for a home for it.

Had a cool little gig in Peebles in the Scottish Borders last Saturday at the Eastgate Theatre. I did the show with Kev McGuire on bass. First gig Kev and I have done in ages. Great to be playing live with Kev again.

Currently reading the debut novel from Willy Vlautin called The Motel Life. He's the singer/songwriter with the excellent band Richmond Fontaine. I'm really enjoying it. It's taken me back to revisit their albums. Great band.

The new Calexico record is also on rather a lot at the moment. Love their music.

I'm just getting into the Myspace thang. I now have some songs from My Town up on www.myspace.com/deanowenspace
Check it out. Strangers Again is up there. It's being released as a single next month on Vertical Records. I will put a couple of songs from the new record up there very soon.

That's all for now. I'm off to enjoy the very rare Scottish sunshine!

Cheers.
Dean.
