Owen performs again

Monday, February 6, 2012 – Jake Owen performed in front of a sold-out crowd his first weekend back out on the road after undergoing surgery on Jan. 17 to repair his broken collarbone, due to a snowboarding accident.

"I'm thrilled to be back out on the road," Owen said. "And to have a sold-out show our first weekend back is such an awesome feeling." He performed Friday night (Feb. 3) for a near sell-out crowd at Cowboy's in Dallas and Saturday night (Feb. 4) for a sold-out crowd at Riverwind Casino in Norman, Okla.

"I'm not very good at sitting around the house taking it easy," Owen said. "I had eight screws and a metal plate put in to repair my collarbone, so I've had to spend a lot of time at doctor's appointments and physical therapy sessions over the past few weeks. Getting back out on stage was the best therapy I've had."

On March 1, Owen will be a guest on Chelsea Lately, hosted by Chelsea Handler, which airs at 11 p.m. ET on E! "I can't wait to meet Chelsea," he said. "She's fearless."

Owen's current single, Alone with You, entered the Top 10 this week on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart. The song is the second single from "Barefoot Blue Jean Night.

Owen will attend the "Act of Valor" exclusive movie premiere in Nashville. He co-wrote and recorded a song on the soundtrack for the upcoming feature film. "Act of Valor" is a motion picture starring active duty Navy Seals, in theatres Feb. 24.

Upcoming tour dates are:

Feb. 9 - Ft Walton Beach, FL - The Block

Feb. 10 - Orlando, FL - Old Florida Outdoor Festival

Feb. 15 - Jackson, MS - Dixie National Rodeo

Feb. 16 - Oxford, MS - The Lyric

Feb. 17 - Tulsa, OK - Cain's Ballroom

Feb. 18 - San Antonio, TX - San Antonio Rodeo

Therefore, the success this project rises or falls with his vocals and song choices. Fortunately, Own has chosen some memorable songs to sing, and his singing voice has never sounded better. He's never better than on the single and album opener, "Down to the Honkytonk." It's a 'friends in low places' drinking song, where Owen's voice gets ...
CD review - American Love Most everyone has made up their mind on bro-country music. Maybe you love the breezy images of the beach dippin' and sippin' lifestyle, or you write it off as empty headed and repetitive. Either way, Florida native Jake Owen was a torchbearer for the genre, and it's rewarded him well - four albums and five Number One singles (remember "Beachin"?). His career has been on a more-or-less upward arc, with higher-profile tours and bigger hits each time out. ...
CD review - Days of Gold Jake Owen aims to satisfy all comers (that is, if the current country is your thing), but the individual pieces don't quite add up. The songs may stand up on their own well enough, but when all is said and done, Owen remains an artist without much of an identity or sound. Take, for example, Beachin', one of countless country songs about the good life. Like many of his counterparts these days, there's a spoken, neo hip hop rap part to it.
