Detroit native bass player Endea Owens is one of jazz’s most vibrant emerging artists. After graduating from Juilliard, she joined the Late Show with Stephen Colbert as a member of the house band, Stay Human. Since then, Endea has won an Emmy, a Grammy and the George Foster Peabody Award. Her work has appeared on Jon Batiste’s Grammy Award-winning album We Are, the soundtrack for the Oscar-nominated film Judas and the Black Messiah, and her own debut recording Feel Good Music.
