About this concert
Long before George Benson became a household name with hits like “Give Me the Night” and “Turn Your Love Around” he was admired as one of the premier guitarists in jazz. This salute to Benson’s iconic career reaches back to include everything from the classic grooves he laid down with his early organ-based quartet that featured Dr. Lonnie Smith to his breakthrough album Breezin’ and onward to the contemporary sounds that garnered him Grammy Awards in not just jazz but R&B and pop as well.

Awesome, AWESOME show!! Mr. Owens did Marvin proud in every way tonight. In addition to bringing pure, heart-and-soul Marvin Gaye to the playlist, he and his outstanding musicians put a fantastic contemporary feel to Marvin’s work that was so rich and happy, it made me cry. Huge, sincere thanks to Brian Owens and the band for bringing some lovin’ here today and to my husband for always finding the way. And thanks to the Sumter Opera House - so enjoyable in this lovely venue.

Brian Owens Soul Biography
“‘Brian Owens is one of the newly emerging talents whose artistry will no doubt capture the imagination of an ever wider audience as time goes on. I feel extremely privileged to have crossed paths with him so early in what I believe will be a very successful musical career.” - Michael McDonald
Brian Owens is vibrantly vintage—aesthetically he follows the groove gospel of classic 1960s and 1970s soul with heavy dose of traditional quartet stylings, but it has a very “in the now” emotionality. Brian and his core trio, The Deacons of Soul (Shaun Robinson, Alvin Quinn and Rob Woodie) offer an experience that invites audiences to partake to honor the past and attend to the present and future through performances that are about “preservation. Brian is making music with intent, art that inspires positive change. His vocals are a revelation—purposeful and passionate—he remains his own stylist while recalling the sensual urgency of Marvin Gaye, the comforting falsetto of Curtis Mayfield, and tender grit of Sam Cook.
