Owen grew up in Winter Haven Florida with his twin brother Jarrod. Both brothers took an avid interest in a variety sports in their youth. However, when Jake was involved in a Wakeboarding accident that required reconstructive surgery, he ended up playing around on a neighbours guitar and before long was playing gigs in a local bar.
Owen was signed after moving the Nashville, Tennessee, as he began his new life in the south, he went to open a bank account and passed on one of his CDs to a bank clerk, who liked it so much, she sent it to a Warner Music Group. Hs country career was born.
In 2006, Owen released his debut single, “Yee-Haw”. The party tempo track was a success, making its way up to number 16 on the charts, and it lead to the release of his first full length release, “Startin' With Me”, which was a top ten hit in the country chart.
Three years later in 2009, Jake Owen returned with his follow up effort, “Easy Does It”, which was another charts success for the country star. The same year, Owen received the ACM award for Top Male New Vocalist. Owen’s third album “Barefoot Blue Jean Night” was a huge success for the singer, with the first two singles both debuting at number one on the Billboard Country charts.
Jake Owen has toured around the US, opening for other country acts such as Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban. In 2012, he famously proposed to his model girlfriend, Lacey Buchanan live on stage. The couple have a daughter, named Olive Pearl.
Jake Owen takes country and makes it fun for the whole entire family. Jake Makes a real effort to involve the audience in his singing and even goes through practice and timing sessions with the audience before playing the song to make sure that everyone in the crowd is on the same page with him. If he notices that the crowd is a little behind in singing he will actually slow down along with the rest of the band to make sure that everyone in the crowd who wants to get involved can do so. He pauses between singing to encourage you to cheer and celebrate as much as you want and have a good time.
This really helps you feel like you are a part of the show itself and it really makes for a fun and entertaining experience. The crowd willingly sings the lyrics to the songs and cheers throughout and Jake rather than being annoyed by this will join in with them and have as much fun with the performance as they are.
