JAKE OWEN PREMIERES THE MUSIC VIDEO FOR THE FASTEST RISING SINGLE OF HIS CAREER “I WAS JACK (YOU WERE DIANE)”
Nashville, TN (April 20, 2018) Last night in the CMA Theater at the
Country Music Hall of Fame, Jake Owen and Big Loud Records invited fans
and the music industry to be part of the premiere of Owen’s music video
for the fastest rising single of his career, “I Was Jack (You Were
Diane).” The video is actually a short film, directed by Justin Clough
of Taillight and starring actors MacKenzie Porter (Netflix Travelers) and Jake Etheridge (CMT’s Nashville).
“I don’t think I’ve ever been more excited about a music video,” says
Owen. “I’ve never had anyone send me a 14-page treatment before, but
this isn’t your typical country music video. I think it could be
considered a short film. I really appreciate the attention to detail and
hard work that everyone put into making it. I’m anxious to hear what
people think.” Watch

Owen reflects, “I’m so thankful to have a career in this business. I’m
excited about everything in my life right now. I sense that people are
pulling for me and that’s very humbling. It makes me want to work that
much harder, not just for me, but for everyone who has been so
supportive of me all these years. We’re in this together.”
The event was hosted by Lon Helton and included a Q&A with Owen, the
director and the actors. The evening also included a performance of his
hit single, “I Was Jack (You Were Diane),” plus a few new tunes, “Made
for You,” “Down to the Honkytonk,” and because the event took place in
the Country Music Hall of Fame, Jake felt moved to play one of his
favorite country songs by Hank Williams, Jr., “Blues Man.”
Owen will be hitting the road in May on his 2018 “Life’s Whatcha Make It
Tour” with special guest Chris Janson and rising star Jordan Davis. The
majority of shows will take place at baseball stadiums across the
country. Check it out HERE. Details on the Jake Owen VIP package can be found HERE.
