Big Loud Records has signed platinum-selling country act Jake Owen, reuniting him with Joey Moi, who produced his breakthrough album, Barefoot Blue Jean Night and also happens to be a Big Loud founder.

Upon hearing the exciting news, all HITS employees removed their shoes. (We apologize to our building-mates for the mandatory evacuation.)

‪"This is an unbelievable moment for all of us as true fans of Jake Owen," label President Clay Hunnicutt says. "When we created Big Loud over two years ago, this is exactly the type of home we wanted to create for someone like Jake, who is a unique and unparalleled entertainer and person, and who has a clear vision of who he is as an artist."

Owen joins a roster of acts including Chris Lane, Morgan Wallen and Jillian Jacqueline.
