Streisand Tribute Borrego Springs: Sharon Owens at BSPAC
Share
Barbra Tribute Borrego Springs
Sharon Owens brought Barbra Streisand’s sound and style to the Borrego Springs Performing Arts Center on Wednesday, February 11, 2026, pairing strong vocals with real audience connection. She didn’t keep the performance contained to the stage, and several moments throughout the night reflected the relaxed, personal feel that live shows in Borrego Springs are known for.
She Took the Show Into the Seats
Owens came into the audience, asked questions, and kept the room involved throughout. She joked that it’s no wonder Borrego people are so happy because no one knows where we are. She also moved through the audience touching bald heads as she passed, repeating the playful bit more than once during the show.
Audience Moment: Doug on Stage
Owens pulled audience member and Borrego Springs snowbird Doug up to the stage and guided him through “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers.” Doug learned it on the spot and finished strong.
Audience Moment: Lynette Salton
Owens also involved Lynette Salton from the audience, and the two shared a brief moment singing Streisand’s “Somewhere” together. Salton is a board member at the Borrego Springs Performing Arts Center and a central figure in many local performances and community events.
Sharon Owens’ Background
Owens began her Streisand tribute career with the large-scale production Legends in Concert, where her resemblance in both voice and appearance helped launch her onto bigger stages. She later headlined a Las Vegas Strip show billed as “Barbra and Frank, The Concert That Never Was,” and her tribute work has been recognized through national television appearances and entertainment media coverage. She holds a Master’s degree from Chapman University and a BA from the University of South Florida, and she also performs American Songbook favorites and classic standards alongside the Streisand material.
