Jake Thanks the Fans

Jake Owen welcomed hundreds of fans and two special guests, his parents Mitzi and Steve, to his fan club party at LongHorn Steakhouse in Brentwood, Tenn., June 11.

His parents made the trip from Florida to see their boy sign autographs, pose for pictures and sing for his fans. Asked by Jake what he could do to make them more proud, his mom said, “Shave your face!” And dad chimed in, “Introduce me to some of those cute female singers!”
