Let's make this birthday one to remember.

43 years old (Born on August 28, 1981)

Happy Birthday, Jake Owen! You're not just 'Barefoot Blue Jean Night' on repeat—though we wouldn't complain if you were. Another trip around the sun and you're still effortlessly strumming life’s soundtrack while we're all trying to figure out how your hair stays perfect mid-performance.

From hitting No. 1 charts with contagious rhythms, touring packed venues coast-to-coast, to charming us endlessly as country music's reigning sunshine ambassador—you've proven that "Homemade" isn't just a hit song title but describes your authentic charm perfectly. Keep making memories (and hits), staying blissfully carefree barefoot or booted; here's hoping this birthday is legendary!
