Ollee Owens

Canada

Far more than a vocal powerhouse, Calgary-based Blues/Soul/Rock artist Ollee Owens blends grit and intensity with exquisite skill, resulting in a contemporary blues sound that moves both body and soul. With the warmth of Mavis Staples, intensity of Etta James and the soulful delivery of Bonnie Raitt, Ollee’s voice goes directly to the heart, acknowledging the struggles of life while never losing sight of what truly matters.

After returning to music a decade ago and releasing 2022’s Cannot be Unheard, Owens is making waves in the Blues and Roots scene with the release of her newest album, Nowhere to Hide (2024), garnering well-earned attention across Canada and Internationally, earning rave reviews across North America and abroad. 

Since 2015, Ollee has shared stages across the Canadian Prairies and as far south as Memphis with artists like Matt Anderson, Blue Moon Marquee, Albert Castiglia and Dawn Tyler Watson. Ollee kicked off 2025 with a set at the legendary BB Kings in Memphis, TN and played on Beale Street again in May at an Autism Awareness Showcase. She will continue touring stages and festivals across Canada and Internationally, making new friends and fans wherever she goes.
