Jake Owen

RCA Nashville's Jake Owen is known to keep it real - so much so that his latest single is entitled, "Real Life." He's also known to be one of the more involved artists in their personal social media accounts, often engaging with fans via Facebook and Twitter, among other platforms. So when Ohio State University student Eric Bennett tweeted Owen early in the day on a Saturday telling him about a party happening at his house that night in celebration of his 21st birthday, Owen decided to take Bennett up on his invitation to attend. Owen was in town for a show at the Ohio State Fair, but replied to Bennett via Twitter to accept his birthday party invitation and get directions before showing up at the party.

Owen hung out with Bennett and his friends and even picked up a guitar and sang "Barefoot Blue Jean Night" for the birthday crowd. Later that night at the concert, Owen retold the tale of his birthday party invitation and dedicated Bennett's favorite song, "Heaven" to him for his 21st birthday. In all likelihood, Eric Bennett may have just had the best birthday he will ever have.
