Jake Owen is having a blast on the road, and when it looks like he’s having a constant party on stage, and hanging out with fans, Jake admits that it’s a lot of work to have that much fun. Jake says that “it’s a business, and in order to have a successful business, it all starts from the top.” That’s a lesson Jake learned from his friend Kenny Chesney, who Jake says “he is a musician, he’s an artist — he is also a great businessman.” Jake has taken the lessons learned, and applied them to his own touring life. So when you’re at a Jake show, and have a great time…know that it’s taken a lot of work to get to that point.

  Jake Owen talks about the business side of being a touring performer. (:56)
“It’s a business, and in order to have a successful business, it all starts from the top. Kenny Chesney, I mean, he is a musician, he’s an artist — he is also a great businessman. And in order to keep great employees, you have to know how to treat your employees, and Kenny doesn’t I don’t think makes anyone feel like his employees are employees. He makes ‘em feel like they’re friends, but yet he has a great way of being a boss, you know, and no one just gets up and goes to work to intentionally make their boss’s day worse. Everybody in my crew — and I know everywhere else out there on the road – people wake up every day with the same goal in mind: Let’s get out here, let’s do the job, let’s make the people happy, and go forth from there. So, a lot of people think that touring is just a backstage party they can’t wait to get passes to, but it’s a business, and in order to have a successful business, you have to be smart and diligent about the way you run that.”
