Nashville, TN - (October 22, 2012) – Four-time American Country Awards nominee Jake Owen is making CMT history with his first headlining tour “CMT ON TOUR JAKE OWEN: THE SUMMER NEVER ENDS 2012” reaching the most consecutive sold-out shows for the annual nationwide tour since its inception eleven years ago. The tour, featuring special guests Love and Theft (“Angel Eyes”) and Florida Georgia Line (“Cruise”), kicked off with a bang with sold-out shows in New York, NY (10/10) and Detroit, MI (10/18) and is on deck for the upcoming advance sell-outs in the following major markets; Charlotte, NC (10/26), Chicago, IL (11/29-30), Des Moines, IA (12/1) Minneapolis, MN (12/6), Milwaukee, WI (12/7) and St. Louis, MO (12/8). The tour will wrap in Jake’s hometown of Vero Beach, FL on December 15.
USA Today has referenced “CMT ON TOUR” as the “proving ground for young country acts on the cusp of headliner status” with past acts including Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, Sugarland and Keith Urban. With Jake’s dynamic live show and undeniable summer anthems, it’s no surprise that he has already catapulted to headliner status.
Jake’s red-hot single, “The One That Got Away,” is currently climbing the country radio charts and has already landed inside the Top 10. The song is from his chart-topping 2011 album Barefoot Blue Jean Night that has launched back-to-back, multi-week No. 1 hits with the PLATINUM-selling title track and the GOLD-certified “Alone with You.” After playing to packed stadiums this summer on Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw’s blockbuster ‘Brothers of the Sun’ Tour, Jake released his ode to summer, the new Endless Summer EP. Produced by Joey Moi and executive produced by Jake, the EP made an impressive debut at #2 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart.
Jake first captured the national spotlight with his hits “Startin’ with Me,” “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You” and “Eight Second Ride.” His revival of “Life in a Northern Town” with Sugarland and Little Big Town in 2008 earned him Grammy and CMA Award nominations. Jake was named 2009’s Top New Male Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music, and earlier this year, Entertainment Weekly’s music issue ranked him among “The 30 Greatest Artists Right Now.”
