Ollee Owens

Artist Website

Far more than a vocal powerhouse, Calgary based Ollee Owen’s live performances are unforgettable, moving both body and soul. With the warmth of Mavis Staples, vocal intensity of Etta James and soulful delivery of Bonnie Raitt, Ollee draws on a wealth of experience, acknowledging the struggles of life while never losing sight of what truly matters. Combining her original work with unique interpretations of well-known and long-lost songs, the dynamic of Ollee’s live show creates an exciting backdrop for her incredibly diverse vocal range.  

Owens is a recipient of a Canadian Blues Music Award for Emerging Blues Artist of the Year (2026). Her most recent album “Nowhere to Hide” (2024) has been well received across North America, Europe and Australia with airplay on over 1000 radio stations world-wide. She has won two international songwriting awards for her song “Still in Pieces” (2024/2025) and She is a 2025 YYC Music Awards Nominee for Blues Recording of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. Ollee is currently working on a new album with award-winning Canadian Producer Colin Linden, which is due to be released in Spring 2027. 

Since 2016, Ollee has played hundreds of shows and festivals across the Canadian Prairies, sharing stages with artists like Matt Anderson, Blue Moon Marquee, Julian Taylor and Dawn Tyler Watson.  She has performed in Belfast, Ireland and as far south as Nashville and Memphis, TN.

“For fans of powerful, soul-infused music, “Nowhere to Hide” is an album that cannot be missed. Its sophisticated soundscapes and relatable themes offer a perfect blend of celebration and introspection. As Owens continues to expand her audience, she solidifies her place in the Canadian music landscape — one marked by talent, passion, and an unwavering commitment to her art.”
