Owen Riegling

Owen Riegling brings his modern country storytelling to Centre In The Square in Kitchener on November 1, 2026. Raised in southwestern Ontario, the singer-songwriter draws on small-town life: back roads and long drives, shifts at work, tight‑knit friends, relationships that leave their mark. Early DIY releases put him on the map before Old Dirt Roads pushed his writing to a wider Canadian audience and set the tone for what followed.

On stage, Riegling leans into a current country sound that folds rock pulse, folk touches and guitar‑forward hooks. Choruses invite a sing‑along, verses keep the details close to the ground, and the band lets the stories breathe. The set threads recent singles with the tracks that introduced him, tracing a line from his first songs to what he’s building now.

It’s country shaped by the places he comes from and the roads that run through them, carried by plainspoken lyrics and an easy, unforced delivery.
