Owen Riegling is as real as the red dirt on his boots. A small-town kid from Mildmay, Ontario (population: 1,200), he writes and sings from lived experience - old dirt roads, cold beers, first loves, and long drives under open skies. His songs aren’t fiction; they’re his life, delivered with the easy charm and emotional weight of a seasoned storyteller.

Winner of the 2022 Emerging Artists Showcase at Boots & Hearts, Owen has gone from local bar gigs to Nashville studios, signed with Universal Music Canada, and shared stages with country greats. But fame isn’t what drives him - it’s the love of honest music and simple moments.

Grounded, grateful, and quietly ambitious, Owen Riegling is here for the long haul. His voice may have started in a barn, but it’s built to echo far beyond it.
