Here is a recent excerpt from a letter Owens received from a Gold Star widow
"It's the song, "19" that helps the listeners to remember there are those who are willing to give up high prospects and opportunities in life to serve for our nation and her freedoms! As a person living overseas in a US Army community and the widow of a fallen Soldier, I have daily reminders of the fine folks who serve and the families who sacrifice every day in the service of our nation and her people. Shane, your song reminds the high percentage of other Americans, who sometimes don't have the daily reminder, to remember and be thankful! Thank you Shane Owens for singing and helping keep the memory alive of the fallen while being a positive reminder of the sacrifices of our freedoms as Americans," said Nickayla Myers-Garner, Army widow living in Hohenfels, Germany.
The Neo-traditional country singer is always looking for ways to support our military. Owens is donating 100% of net proceeds of this single to the
TAPS organization. The TAPS organization offers help, hope, and healing to all those grieving the death of a loved one serving in America's Armed Forces. Owens recently performed "19" on Fox &

ABOUT SHANE OWENS: Recently named by Rolling Stone Country as one of "10 New Country Artists You Need To Know,"
Shane Owens has been building a strong following across the Southeast for more than a decade. His powerful vocal range combined with the emotional lyrical content of his songs has made him a favorite of fans, critics, and his fellow artists alike. After starting his career by opening shows for dozens of major stars in the mid-2000s, the ba
ritone performer attracted the attention of Nashville music executives, and he soon landed a record deal. However, with all the changes in the music industry at the time, his album was shelved and never released. Just like the 'Never Give Up' mantra of his lyrics, Owens picked himself up and moved on, thanks to famed producer James Stroud (Tim McGRaw, AaRon Lewis, Clint Black), who produced his new album, Where I'm Comin' From with Country music legend Randy Travis and industry executive Steve Popovich, Jr. as executive producers and mixed by Ed Seay (Blake Shelton, Martina McBride, Alabama).
