Rob Cowen

ROB COWEN & THE DISSIDENTS create euphoric epic-folk that manages to sound both timeless and timely. Part poems and part sing-a-long anthems, these are swaggering rock ‘n’ roll songs of passion and hope, infectious tales of survival and social observation that come straight from this country's heartlands. The story of this elegiac, epic sound starts with singer/songwriter Rob Cowen who hails from a small town on the Yorkshire moors.

Ben Bedford

"When I write, I have a prevailing sense of longing for simpler moments. I'm not referring to simpler times of the distant past. I am speaking of those moments when emotion is so palpable, the mind takes a snapshot. I see the lights of town on Friday night and the beautiful face of the girl I love, sipping a Sierra Nevada and laughing in the half-glow of the Underground City Tavern. We're surrounded by friends, acquaintances and strangers who pass friendly glances as if to say, "I understand why you are here". I want to transfer that moment onto paper, then into song.
