ONE UGLY COWBOY (OUC) is an original Toronto-based country/rock band fronted by powerhouse female vocalist ‘Hurricane Jane’. OUC soulfully blends gritty country and in-your-face-rock with their up-beat … sometimes funny and often heartfelt tunes.
OUC was formed and founded by vocalist JANE SOWERBY and guitarist RICHARD ZWIC.
Jane honed her chops fronting various bands including ‘A TRIBUTE TO JANIS JOPLIN’ and eventually landed in Los Angeles where she was repped by veteran artist manager Gerry Tolman (CROSBY, STILLS & NASH) and attorney David Rudich (MONTLEY CRUE).
Richard has written & worked with various JUNO winners over the years. He has opened the show for headliners Bryan Adams, Steppenwolf, Nazareth, Toronto, Headpins, Sheriff, Rick Derringer, The Animals and Pat Travers.
Zwic produces all of OUC’s music.
Sowerby/Zwic have been songwriting together for years but their independent careers took precedent (Sowerby is an award winning actor with over 100 film/TV credits) but late in 2014 while sitting in their home recording studio they decided to get the tunes off the shelf.
In 2015 bass player RICK OTTENBRITE & drummer MIKE MANN joined the band.
