Live At LongHorn is giving fans the chance to be Jake Owen’s tour manager for a day!
2 winners and 2 guests get to fly to Nashville then hop on a tour bus and travel with Jake to a show. They get to spend the day behind the scenes then attend the concert that night.
Jake recently spoke with CMT blogger Alison Bonaguro about the unique contest…
“We wanted to give something away to the people who’ve been following us. It’s cool for them, but it’s cool for us, too. People don’t realize what goes on in this life on the road. Like how we stopped at a truck stop in the middle of the night last night and I bought a Triski [scooter].”
You can enter the contest HERE.
**Today is the LAST day to enter!**

“I’m a pretty romantic kind of guy, and I get that from my dad, watching the things he used to do for my mom,” Jake tells GAC. “I’d get up early in the morning to go to school, and my dad had already left, and I noticed that my dad had left my mom a note on the counter saying, ‘Honey, I love ya. I’ll see you later tonight.’ Just simple stuff like that is what makes relationships last.”

While he was recuperating from the accident and consequent surgery, he learned to play guitar, and a second career was born. Owen began writing songs and immediately saw that there was a parallel between being a golfer and a songwriter.
“Golf is one of the only solitary sports where you play for yourself … you’re not playing against anybody. You’re playing against the golf course. And it’s your score against the course.
