Jake Owen Adds Fall Leg to the Up There Down Here Tour

Extending his just-announced headlining Up There Down Here Tour, multi-platinum country star Jake Owen adds 12 fall dates to the run today with Mercury Nashville's Travis Denning and newcomer Mackenzie Carpenter joining as support.

The unique trek tacks on more nationwide stops, including a night close to home at The Caverns in Pelham, Tenn. Last night, the summer and fall-long tour launched to a packed-out crowd at Troy, Ohio's Hobart Arena.

Tonight, Owen will take the stage at Louisville's Old Forester's Paristown Hall to help ring in the Kentucky Derby, and will round out the weekend at HSV Amphitheater in Huntsville, Ala.

Tickets for the fall leg of the Up There Down Here Tour are on sale next Friday, May 13 here.

As he hits the open highway with 45 tour dates to go, Owen's windows-down anthem "Best Thing Since Backroads" gains momentum, climbing inside the Top 15 at country radio this week. Last Friday, the Florida native added to his arsenal of all new music with "1x1," a song that Billboard calls "a sweet romantic ode with a clever hook" and praises, "as always, Owen's warm earnest vocal sells it spectacularly."

Jake Owen ascended to stardom with nine #1 smashes, six top-charting albums and multi-platinum hits, including genre staple "Barefoot Blue Jean Night." Known for his laid-back style of country, Owen's latest album, GREETINGS FROM...JAKE (Big Loud Records) delivered three #1 hits - "Made For You," "Homemade" and "I Was Jack (You Were Diane)" - and Top 5 smash "Down to the Honkytonk."

Praised by Billboard as a "country-grounded odyssey," GREETINGS FROM...JAKE followed popular album AMERICAN LOVE, which debuted #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart. His current single "Best Thing Since Backroads" is Top 15 and climbing at country radio now.
