Jake Owen To Launch Second Leg Of Life’s Whatcha Make It Tour

Jake Owen has announced a second leg of his Life’s Whatcha Make It Tour 2018 and a brand new single, “Down to the Honkytonk,” which is out tonight. The tour includes special guests David Lee Murphy and Morgan Wallen, and will kick off Oct. 4 in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania. Tickets for the new shows will go on sale starting Friday, Aug. 10.

“I really do believe that life’s whatcha make it,” says Owen. “That’s actually a line from my new single ‘Down to the Honkytonk.’ I’m so pumped to announce that the second leg of the ‘Life’s Whatcha Make It Tour’ will be starting this fall. I’m equally as excited about who is coming out on the road with us. David Lee Murphy is such a great guy and a writer on one of my biggest hits, ‘Anywhere with You,’ and Morgan Wallen is my label mate who just had a huge hit with FGL. It’s going to be an awesome way to wrap up such a great year.”

Owen has been in the recording studio working with producer Joey Moi, who produced his biggest hits to date, including “Barefoot Blue Jean Night,” “Alone with You,” “Beachin,’”and his most recent No.1, “I Was Jack (You Were Diane).”
