Award winning country music singer/ songwriter Rich Owen is a former US Air Force Officer, currently living in the Colorado Springs, Colorado, area. He’s married and has four children. Rich has been singing all his life, and has performed for audiences as large as a thousand people. His on-stage performances are known for the passion and energy with which he delivers every song.
It was only a few short years ago that Rich picked up the guitar and taught himself to play. After only a couple months, he was inspired to write his first song, a love song for his wife, called "I Ain't Ready for Forever (to End)". To his surprise, he found he not only enjoyed the challenge of writing music, but that he had a talent for it. Since then, he has been steadily adding new songs to his collection
Rich takes special satisfaction in writing and performing songs that support and honor our brave men and woman in uniform.
