  Jake Owen talks about being a tour headliner. (:35)
“I didn’t realize that starting on a barstool in Tallahassee with a dream of doing this would in turn be as great as this is, but also at the same time make me realize that I also have to become a CEO of my own company and be the guy that’s the leader. And it’s taken a lot of dedication and thought process into, like, how I want it to feel, how I want it to look, how I want it to…how I want to be presented, and it’s a pretty awesome feeling to see it all come together, not just for me, but for every one of the guys in my band that literally have been with me since day one. So, we’ve all done this together; it’s not been just me by myself.”
