Video: Jake Owen Kickstarts Summer With 'On The Boat Again' on ABC's Good Morning America

Turning up the heat just in time for the start of summer 2023, Big Loud Records' beach king Jake Owen kicked off the season yesterday on ABC's Good Morning America with a performance of new single “On The Boat Again.”

After a round of pickleball in Times Square with professional players Parris Todd, Alix Truong and twin brothers Hunter and Yates Johnson and a quick chat with hosts Linsey Davis and Mary Bruce, Owen brought his signature honeyed vocal to the sunshine-infused mid-tempo.

A boat-ready interpolation of Willie Nelson's classic “On the Road Again,” the perfectly themed lead from his upcoming seventh studio album, Loose Cannon, “works well, as both a tribute to Nelson and an addition to your body-of-water playlist” (Rolling Stone). 

“On The Boat Again" is spinning on Country radio airwaves nationwide now, with 66 first week stations.

Last night, Owen took a quick trip to New York's closest beach to play a packed-out rooftop pop up at Queens' The Rockaway Hotel, treating fans to a set filled to the brim with chart-toppers, Loose Cannon preview tracks, fan-favorite deep cuts and more. 

Watch the new performance here:
