Since the John Denver classic Annie’s Song launched him as a contestant on the X Factor in 2012, Jason Owen has planned for an album celebrating John Denver’s music. A labour of love, the album includes Annie’s Song, Take Me Home, and first single Everybody’s Talking. Jason’s exceptional vocals shine on the album perfectly capturing the soul of Denver’s music.

“I’ve put my own touch on each track but kept true to the uniqueness of John’s creativity,” Jason said.

ONE of the best-selling artists of the 70s, John Denver was more than just a country music singer. He was outspoken on politics, an environmentalist and a humanitarian. Rather than putting the big smoke on a pedestal, Denver praised the virtues of country living, one most Australian country music fans can connect with.

Writing passionately about the world around him and the simple joys of life, Denver’s timeless music resonated with millions of people from popular artists who have covered his music to a young, impressionable boy in country NSW.

BORN and bred in the small town of Albert 150km west of Dubbo, Jason was raised to the tune of classic country artists. After being launched into the Australian music scene as runner up of X Factor in 2012, Jason has continued to grow into a genuine country artist.

A national tour with country music darling Amber Lawrence, an appearance by iconic Indigenous entertainer Christine Anu on his single Proud and his nomination for New Oz Artist of the Year at the 2017 CMC Awards have cemented his growing reach in the industry he loves.

Jason Owen will present a two-hour show, tickets can be purchased online at www.civictheatre.com.au or directly from the Civic Theatre by dropping in or phoning 6926 9688.
