Jake Owens, All Set To Take the Center Stage in 2010

The future looks even brighter for Grammy nominee Jake Owen this year as he is set to perform his slew of hit country music songs as an opening act for fellow artists Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, and Sugarland throughout the spring and summer of 2010. Riding on the waves of his two hit singles, “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You” and “Eight Second Ride” from his 2009 album “Easy Does It,” Owens is set to take the stage once more as he performs his new country songs and tours with these favorite country music acts.

Owens, a native of Vero Beach, Florida first burst into the country music scene in 2005 when he was signed to the legendary recording outfit RCA Records Nashville. Early the following year, 2006, he released his debut single, “Yee Haw.” Peaking at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, this single made people sit up and take notice of his brand of new country songs in the mold of fellow male artists Brad Paisley and Kenny Chesney. Indeed, in July of the same year, Owens released his 11-track debut album entitled “Startin’ with Me,” which went on to stay on the Billboard country charts for over 35 weeks.

In February of 2009, Owen released his sophomore album entitled “Easy Does It.” Proving that he was no one-hit wonder and dispelling the so-called “sophomore jinx,” Owens’ second album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Top Country Albums. Underscoring his mainstream success, this album also debuted at No. 13 on the Billboard 200 charts. Containing brand new country music songs, this album spawned the hit singles and “Eight Second Ride,” establishing his success as an up and coming artist to watch out for in the years to come.

For those who think Owens is just another tough guy, you might want to think again. Owens is a sensitive and warm-hearted individual who pours his heart out in his songs. For example, he says “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You” is “just a song coming from a guy, your everyday hard-working guy, this guy that may not be able to afford all the finer things in life. I learned when I was a kid – that’s the first line in the song, I learned the hard way real early in life that money doesn’t grow on trees…And I just wanted to write that.’” He further adds, “I think that it’s a really strong way of singing a love song and lyrically putting it out there without overdoing it with cliché cheesy lines. It’s just laying it out there on the table, which is the way it is, and it’s how I feel.”

Indeed, we may expect this brand of new country songs from the artist whose rising popularity has allowed him access to some of the best tours of the season. Just recently, he announced that he will be busily spending the early part of this year opening for Jason Aldean, and then opening for Miranda Lambert this April, before heading out for a summer tour with Sugarland this May.
