Dub’s Memories With Kicks99 Guitar Pull Star Jake Owen

I go way back with Kicks99 Guitar Pull star number one, Jake Owen. Just like a lot of y'all I was so excited to find out that Jake Owen was coming back to the James Brown Arena for Guitar Pull this year. So many of us have seen Jake's career grow and take off over the years. Jake is no stranger to Kicks Country, he's been through to see us a bunch over the years.

Back in 2006 I can remember hanging with Jake Owen at Longhorn on Washington Rd. He was there doing an acoustic pre-show thing for some of our Kicks listeners before he played at Coyote's that night. Jake Owen has played everything from a Valentines Day show at The Country Club to the Western Carolina State Fair in Aiken.

Jake has headlined his own tour at the James Brown Arena back in 2014. He even headlined the first concert at SRP Park back in 2018. See what I mean when I say. that Jake Owen is no stranger to Kicks Country. He loves playing here, and we love having him. This will be Jake's second trip to the Kicks99 Guitar Pull, he played it last back in 2017.

He always puts on a great show, and this year's Guitar Pull will be no different. If you want to keep up with everything thats been going on with Jake Owen, just click here.
