The Day He Came Back

The Final Dawn

Backroads is a country-pop/Americana anthem born out of Texas red dirt and small-town roots, yet written for anyone who’s ever left home chasing big dreams. With acoustic warmth, driving guitars, and a heartfelt Texan voice, it tells the story of learning that no matter how far you go, the roads that raised you never let you go.

From Friday night lights to the Lone Star sky, the song carries the pride of Texas while echoing a universal truth — every American has their own backroads, the places and people that shape who they are. With anthemic choruses and a sound made for both radio and festivals, Backroads is nostalgic, uplifting, and built to be sung out loud.

Anywhere With You

A trusted troubadour for hot summer nights and cold beers, Owen is now in his forties, tangling with separations from lost lovers, raising kids, and growing out of the fresh-faced kid that headed down to Nashville 20 years back with a six-string and a dream.  Case in point: Dreams to Dream, Owen’s long-awaited, Shooter Jennings-co-produced foray into classic, honky-tonk country, out November 7 via Good Company Entertainment. Dreams to Dream, Owen’s first independent studio album, featuring 10 original tracks and two stellar covers, tells the tale of a man at a crossroads — and what it takes to set out a new path. 

Owen wasn’t expecting much when he commented on one of Shooter Jennings’ Instagram posts, half-jokingly suggesting that they make a honky-tonk record, but the producer called his bluff. Two days later, Owen’s manager had Jennings on the line and, soon, Owen was on his way to L.A. and Jennings’ Sunset Sound. It was a cozy yet electric scene: Jennings and Owen cracking jokes in the sepia-toned studio, creativity crackling as they collaborated with the likes of songwriters Ben Chapman and Kendell Marvel, as well as long-time shooter pal, guitarist/harmonic player Leroy Powell. 

“All my friends who have heard my stuff have gone, ‘Dude, Jake, this is you man. This is who you've always tried to be,’” Owen says. “Sometimes you need to get outside what's comfortable, what people think you are, or think you should be, and take a risk.”
