Jan Britten Owen

We're very excited to have New York City's Jan Owen return (for his third consecutive year) to Beatle Wekk 2006! Since last August, Jan has been very busy performing his startling one-man renditions of the entire Abbey Road Medley, A Day In The Life, Happiness Is A Warm Gun, and other show-stoppers at Latin American Beatles Week, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, November '05 (in their own Cavern Club). Back in the States Jan taped a live performance at Strawberry Fields (in NYC's Central Park), in honour of John Lennon for 'Jornal de Record', the leading TV news programme in Brazil, which was broadcast worldwide, Dec 8th across America, Africa and Europe.

On October 9th, Jan was a guest performer in a concert to honour John's 65th birthday, at CBGBs in NYC. On the 30th, after performing for Sid Bernstein (the man who brought the Beatles to Shea Stadium and Carnegie Hall) at a club in Greenwich Village, Jan went to another venue to support his friends in the amazing Pete Best Band. This year, Jan has performed with Jane Weidlin (of the Go-Go's), Ian Mitchell (B C Rollers) and even appeared as an extra on "The Sopranos".

After BW '06 Jan will be flying to Scotland, to play the Edinburgh Festival in September. (There are also negotiations in the works to appear at the Reeperbahn Festival in Hamburg, Germany, in late September). Jan has been asked to return to Buenos Aires, to play the Semana de Beatles 2006! Jan has now recorded his second solo album 'Back to the Gazebo', out on Subway records (subwayrecords.com).

Come to Jan's shows during Beatle Week 2006, and see for yourself why Ringo Starr thought enough of Jan's talent to remark, "Hey this guy's good! We'll have to get him up to sing with us sometime!"
