NASHVILLE, TN (December 19, 2012) – Platinum-selling country singer Jake Owen
is bringing some extra cheer to this holiday season by raising $125,000
for children’s charities at his annual foundation concert in his
hometown of Vero Beach, Florida, on Saturday, December 15, 2012.
The
“Barefoot Blue Jean Night” hit-maker wrapped his first headlining tour,
CMT ON TOUR JAKE OWEN: THE SUMMER NEVER ENDS 2012, with a sold-out
concert at the city’s Vero Beach Sports Village. All of the proceeds
will benefit the Jake Owen Foundation, which supports St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital and youth organizations in Indian River
County, Florida, including Autism Speaks and the Mardy Fish Foundation.
Over
6,200 fans attended and Jake is grateful for their support. He shares,
“A huge thank you to everyone in Vero Beach Saturday night for an
awesome show and helping us raise money for such a great cause. I can’t
think of a better way to end the CMT Tour and this amazing year!”
Earlier
this month, the American Country Awards Breakthrough Artist of the Year
set the record for the CMT Tour’s most consecutive sold-out shows to
date. His high-energy live show and captivating songs have garnered the
attention of headlining acts (Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw)
and media alike. In 2013, Jake will join Jason Aldean’s NIGHT TRAIN
TOUR.
Since releasing his chart-topping album, Barefoot Blue Jean Night, Jake
has emerged as one of country music’s leading vocalists. The album has
delivered three consecutive No. 1 hit singles, the first two of which
held the top spot on the chart for multiple weeks – the PLATINUM-selling
title track, GOLD-certified “Alone with You” and “The One That Got
Away.”
