LISTEN TO "THE CALL" HERE
Owen shares, “Everyone has their own way of processing loss and grief. For me writing songs has always been an outlet that helps navigate hard times. This song is about a call you never want to get, but a call you will never forget. I can still remember where I was, what kind of day it was, who I was with, the songs that played through the radio on my 2 hour drive home, the expression on my parents face when I walked in the door, I can still hear the sound of crying and a sense of togetherness that you can really only feel when trying to process the unimaginable…” With this song, Owen simultaneously kicks off his Movember campaign with his team ‘Good Friends’, for more info and to join, see here.

ABOUT OWEN RIEGLING:
Owen Riegling is the kind of artist so down to earth his boots are always dirty. He’s a small-town kid with his roots firmly planted in the songs he sings. There’s something organic about the way Owen does what he does. It’s hard to put a finger on exactly what makes it so special but it’s even harder to ignore how fast it’s growing. The qualities come through as soon as you hear him sing. Call it obvious authenticity. A lack of pretence. Call it being raised in Mildmay, Ontario, a town of 1200 where keeping yourself grounded is the only way up. It’s no accident that the same small-town humility and authenticity translated on the massive Platinum-certified hit single “Old Dirt Roads”. 2023 was a wild ride for Owen, signing a deal with Universal Music Canada, releasing a series of chart climbing singles, touring coast to coast, surpassing 1.5M monthly Spotify listeners, working with some of Nashville’s biggest writers and producers, and gracing the main stage at Boots & Hearts – all while managing to keep his feet on the ground. Owen wrapped 2023 as Apple Music’s UpNext Program and kicked off 2024 selected as Spotify’s Hot Country Artists To Watch and Amazon Canada’s Breakthrough Artists to Watch 2024. Now, 2x 2024 CCMA Award winner with over 117 million global streams, multiple tours across Canada and a headline tour this Fall and and festival dates ahead, plus 2x 2024 CMAO awards, it is clear the future is bright for Owen as he continues turning new fans into old friends every step of the way. Dirty boots and all. Sign up to Owen Riegling’s mailing list HERE for exclusive content, music news, merch drops, upcoming performances, and more.
