Owen plays once-in-a-lifetime gig (and his girlfriend is happy)

Monday, April 9, 2012 – Jake Owen went home on Saturday night and added a once-in-a-lifetime twist to the night - he proposed to his girlfriend.

While playing in his hometown of Vero Beach, Fla. in front of 5,500 family, friends and fans, Owen proposed to his girlfriend Lacey Buchanan during the performance of his hit song Don't Think I Can't Love You.

"Lacey is the answer to all of my prayers," Owen said. "She is an amazing person, and I'm the luckiest guy in the world."

"When I was on stage, it just hit me how many of our family members (Buchanan is also a Florida native) and friends were at the show," he said. "So, I thought sharing that moment would mean a lot to everyone."

"I'll be happy to talk to everyone after this week passes. Right now, I'm focusing on what is most important and that is spending some quality time with Lacey and our families."

No wedding date was announced. Owen was in Vero Beach to perform at his annual concert to give back to his hometown community.

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. The song is breezy, on the catchy side, but ...
