Joe Chown

Joe Chown is a Singer/Songwriter from Cornwall, UK. Combining the raw emotion and energy of his punk rock background with the carefully crafted storytelling of folk music, Joe Chown has been entertaining crowds around the south-west since he was just 13 years old, from small town bars to support slots to major festivals. Claiming influence from songwriting giants such as Springsteen and Petty, whilst keeping his roots firmly planted in heavier alternative music, his songs and live performances have led to festival slots and radio play from BBC Introducing, with his ever-growing catalogue of songs and enthusiastic stage presence continuing to entertain crowds. ‘Chown is a rising talent but he's doing it the right way, with good songs, raw talent and a sense of purpose beyond simple success’ - Listen With Monger ‘Listening to Joe’s music you would be forgiven for thinking that you were listening to a much more mature artist. Joe has a depth to his “gravelly” voice that smacks of a seasoned performer. From the catchy hook in “Looking for a Fight” to the more melodic tones of “Your Balcony”, Joe also shows that he is no “one-trick-pony”.’ - Phluid Records
