Hi Jan
Nice to hear from you... thanks for the kind words.
I'm not very good at alot of things so I focus all my energy on songwriting, thanks for noticing.
It looks we'll be playing your neck of the woods early next year... hope to see you out there
Cheers Ron

Hey Jan,
I love your music. Very heartfelt, with great melodies and perfect subtle backing.
Your vocal on "No One Wants to Be the One" is incredible...very Elvis Costello.
Btw, the story of you meeting him was quite hilarious; good one!
See ya round,

Dig your tunes, I look forward to hearing more soon, keep me posted.
Cheers,

I don't often do this Jan,
but I actually listened to your music after receiving your request...
I'm not sure you need depend on the inspiration of The Beatles to gain your audience.
Your songs are beautifully crafted and elegantly played.
They deserve an audience in their own right.
Let me know when you are next in the UK. I'd like to see you perform.
Best wishes,

Hi Jan,

Kudos on your songs. Solid songwriting, meaningful lyrics, and catchy melodies make your music a genuine listening pleasure. With such immense talent it's no wonder you've had such great success so far.

"No One Wants To Be The One to Say The Party's Over" has such a nice contemplative feel to it, it just demands your attention. I think "Surprise, Surprise" is my favorite. That great and subtle message of hope in the midst of apparent melancholy, accompanied by the upbeat rhythm, makes the song uplifting without being obvious.

Thanks for finding us and sharing your awesome music!

I listen to the guitar rifts and they have power, quality and charm.
I hear the words and creative emotion in their meaning carried in your syllabic staccato style.
I hear your voice and there rings the warmth of an open heart.
All together it is magical, lifting and true.
Very Very Well Done, Jan!

Jan Britten Owen performs the Beatles music true to John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr -- with one guitar, one great voice, and a lot of respect for the Fab Four.
