If you haven't seen Jake Owen perform live, you've been missing out. If you haven't had the chance to see Owen perform in an intimate setting, then you are really missing out. Jake Owen is a great performer and songwriter, but he's also supremely comfortable on stage, much more than you would expect of a once-aspiring golf star.Watching him recently at performance for fewer than 50 local radio listeners was like being invited to a jam session in his living room. He talked about his new puppy, Vern, he did a masterful impression of Ronnie Dunn, and he even managed to squeeze in a few songs. Normally he has a full band backing him, but today it was just him and a guitar. Though his band members are among some of the coolest guys on the planet, they were not missed. Owen is a compelling performer no matter the venue.
Having recently released his sophomore album, Easy Does It, Owen is enjoying the upswing of his career. When you get the CD (and you will) be sure to check out Anything for You and Every Reason I Go Back. He has already opened for legendary performers like Alan Jackson and Brooks & Dunn, as well as newer major acts Kenny Chesney and Brad Paisley. Judging by his stage presence, it won't be too long before Owen has his own opening acts.
Owen is also the ACM New Male Artist of the Year. His winning is testament to Owen's loveability as this year is the first time this award is fan-voted. He's up against Julianne Hough and the Zac Brown Band for Best New Artist at the ACMs. Cast your vote for Jake here.
