28 JUNE 2024 (TORONTO, ON) —Today, Amazon Music announces a new Amazon Music Original by rising Canadian country singer-songwriter Owen Riegling. The song is a cover of The Tragically Hip’s song “Bobcaygeon" and is released in celebration of the band’s 40th anniversary. Riegling will debut the Amazon Music Original cover live on stage next week at Cavendish Festival in Prince Edward Island. Listen to the track exclusively on Amazon Music HERE.
“The Tragically Hip are Canadian legends, their music was the soundtrack to some of my fondest memories growing up,” said Riegling. “My personal favourite song of theirs had always been ‘Bobcaygeon,’ I used to play it in the bars when I was cutting my teeth. It felt right to record my own version of it.”
Alongside the release arrives the official video, which depicts the band’s influence on Riegling as well as the significance of growing up in a small town and how that became the core of both The Tragically Hip and Riegling’s music. Watch the video 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 pretense. 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 hit single “Old Dirt Roads”. 2023 has been a wild ride for Owen, signing a deal with Universal Music Canada, releasing a series of chart climbing singles, touring coast to coast, surpassing millions of monthly 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. Now, with over 70M global streams, multiple tours across Canada and a full festival calendar ahead, 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.
