Owen Riegling

Canadian country artist and award-winning singer-songwriter Owen Riegling is quickly emerging as one of the genre’s most authentic and dynamic new voices. Raised in the farming community of Mildmay, Ontario (pop. 1,200), Riegling pairs small-town soul with a modern, arena-ready edge.

After winning the 2022 Boots & Hearts Festival Emerging Artist Competition and signing with Universal Music Canada, Riegling broke through with his platinum-certified hit “Old Dirt Roads”. His expanded EP-turned-album Bruce County (From The Beginning) earned major recognition, including 2025 CCMA Album of the Year, multiple Country Music of Ontario Awards, and a 2025 Juno Award nomination for Breakthrough Artist of the Year. With more than 165 million global streams, his momentum continues to build.

A relentless performer, Riegling has headlined his own shows and supported artists including Brett Young, Jake Owen, Tyler Hubbard, Chase Rice, Tyler Braden, Kashus Kulpepper, Dierks Bentley and more. Life on the road paired with major personal milestones, including his recent marriage to longtime partner Liv, shaped the emotional core of his new Universal Music Canada/Big Loud album, In The Feeling. Produced in Nashville by Oscar Charles and featuring collaborations with some of Nashville’s most respected songwriters, In The Feeling captures a defining chapter of growth and self-discovery. The project finds Riegling wrestling with identity, distance from home, and the balance between ambition and belonging. Radio hit “Taillight This Town” reflects that push-and-pull between leaving and longing, while the highly energetic “Love Hate Love” showcases his big stage energy and evolving confidence.

Grounded in family, community and the values that shaped him, Riegling blends vulnerability with convictions as his sound matures, so does his sense of self. “I’m just making the music that I would want to listen to,” Riegling says. “I’m not trying to be anybody other than myself.”

From rural Canada to international stages, Riegling is no longer simply chasing the dream, he is fully stepping into it. It's official: on In The Feeling, Owen Riegling has found himself. Now - it's your turn to find him.
