Jason Owens was born and raised in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He picked up his first guitar at the age of ten, when he heard Brad Paisley on the radio. It was Paisley’s guitar solo from the song “The World”, that inspired Jason to learn to play. From that moment on, Jason knew he wanted to play the guitar. Jason begged his parents relentlessly until they purchased him a guitar and enrolled him in lessons. It was then Jason proclaimed his dream to be a member of the Grand Ole Opry someday. Jason became excited about performing when the Willis Music Corporation hosted an “Air Guitar” contest. As a result of Jason’s video, Brad Paisley tweeted this message to Jason, “You nailed it.” Later that year, Paisley tweeted again about Jason complimenting him on his guitar technique. Paisley’s interaction inspired him to practice for hours each day. Jason’s enthusiasm has never faded, and he continues to practice as often as his schedule permits. Jason visited the 2010 CMA Music Fest where he participated in a “Skype Session” with Justin Moore. Jason had a conversation with Mr. Moore, in which he kindly commented that “Jason was a better guitar player than him.” These words also encouraged Jason to keep working toward his dream of becoming a performer. In 2010, Jason began working in the Echo Lab Recording Studio. Aaron Mahoney introduced him to the art of recording. Jason worked in the studio assisting and learning the skill set which has enabled him to run sound at events and recording sessions.

Community service and charitable contributions are very important to Jason. He performs for various charities and benefits on a regular basis including fundraising groups and churches. One of the benefits that was closest to Jason’s heart was a fundraiser for a three year old cancer patient.
