BOWEN * YOUNG have announced the release of their highly anticipated debut album Us, which is coming out May 3rd via Snakefarm. Pre-order here.
 
They say, “we’ve poured our hearts and souls into creating ‘Us’, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to share it with our fans. The album is a journey through our experiences, emotions and the unique blend of musical styles that define BOWEN * YOUNG. We hope our fans feel the same connection and passion that went into making this record.” 
 
To coincide with the announcement, the husband and wife duo have also released a tender and affecting version of Beyonce’s ‘Halo’, which features on the album alongside the previously released singles ‘World Brand New’ and ‘Water To Wine’.
 
Formed of Clare Bowen and Brandon Robert Young, the couple are both accomplished musicians who combine their talents to create soulful and captivating songs in a unique style the couple have dubbed ‘cinematic Americana’.
 
Clare and Brandon co-wrote nine of the ten tracks on the album and collaborated with Sean McConnell (Brothers Osborne, Buddy Miller), Mikky Ekko (Vance Joy, Teddy Swims) as well as Roger Alan Nichols (Paramore, Steven Tyler) as producers.
 
After growing up in rural Australia, Clare Bowen moved to Music City in 2012 to play the role of Scarlett O’Connor in the hit TV show Nashville, gaining respect from the city’s musical leaders and finding mentors in legendary Grammy Award winning producers/songwriters, T-Bone Burnett and Buddy Miller.
 
Hailing originally from Connecticut, Brandon Robert Young began singing at the age of five under the guidance of his mother. He eventually moved to Nashville, where he taught himself to play guitar, working as a courier during the day, filling composition books with songs at night.
 
Bowen has performed with artists such as Vince Gill, Zac Brown Band and more, while Young spent a decade touring with John Hiatt and collaborating with Emmylou Harris, Colin Linden and Mikky Ekko. They were then first brought together in 2013, when Brandon was a last-minute replacement for Clare’s no-show duet partner for her first solo set at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.
 
Since then, the dynamic partnership have further blossomed with BOWEN * YOUNG also making their UK debut last July, joining Billy Joel and Daryl Hall at British Summer Time in Hyde Park. This May, the couple are set to return to the UK for a number of headline shows and to perform at the second Highways Festival, which takes place at The Royal Albert Hall on May 17th & 18th.
