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 debut album, Bruce County, brought him an even bigger audience and yielded another hit in "Moonshines." He followed in 2026 with In the Feeling, landing another hit with "Taillight This Town."
