Owen Riegling

A country artist whose traditionalist sound is seasoned by his youthful, down-home perspective, Owen Riegling was barely out of his teens when he became a promising new star on the Canadian country scene. Riegling's music is rooted in the engaging melodies of contemporary country while incorporating the semi-acoustic arrangements and classic feel of Americana embodied by his engaging, unpretentious persona. After making his independent debut with 2021's bluesy "Smoke Man," Riegling landed a major-label contract and scored a pair of hits with 2023's down-home "Old Dirt Roads" and the rustic but hooky "Love (The Sweater Song)." His 2024 EP, Bruce County, brought him an even bigger audience and yielded another hit in "Moonshines."
