Co-penned with Connie Harrington (Terri Clark, Blake Shelton, Brooks & Dunn), the song traces Riegling’s journey of self-discovery and marks a defining chapter in his career. “I think this is the perfect song to close out the project and this coming-of-age era of my life,” Riegling shares, “‘Anything But Me’ tells my story and the things I struggled with to get where I am today. It took me a long time to figure it out. Where I fit in. What I was meant to do. I was always comparing and doubting myself. But through music, touring, and the people I’ve met along the way, I am happy to say that these days I wouldn’t want to be anything but me.”
Produced in Nashville by Oscar Charles (Chase Rice, Elvie Shane) and mixed by Jordan Rigby, In The Feeling features co-writes with some of Nashville top songwriters, including Luke Laird (Eric Church, Carrie Underwood), Jonathan Singleton (Lainey Wilson, Tim McGraw, Luke Combs), Jimi Bell (Brantley Gilbert, Jon Pardi, Luke Combs, Bailey Zimmerman), Kyle Sturrock (Blake Shelton, Dierks Bentley) and others. The 12-song project reflects a transformative chapter in Riegling’s life, shaped by constant travel, personal growth, and major milestones including his marriage. Physical editions of the album will include 12 tracks as well as a handful of special interludes.
Since winning the 2022 Boots & Hearts Emerging Artist Competition, the Universal Music Canada/Big Loud recording artist has earned a platinum-certified hit with ‘Old Dirt Roads‘, released Bruce County (From The Beginning), and toured extensively across North America. Now surpassing 170 million global streams, a CCMA-winner, a JUNO-nominee, Riegling continues to cement his place among Canada’s most compelling country voices. A relentless performer, Riegling has headlined his own shows and supported artists including Brett Young, Jake Owen, Tyler Hubbard, Chase Rice, Tyler Braden, Kashus Kulpepper, Dierks Bentley and more. His momentum carried into the 2025 CCMA Awards, where he took home the ‘Ford F-150 Album of the Year’ award for Bruce County (From The Beginning), adding to his 2024 CCMA wins for ‘Songwriter of the Year’ (‘Old Dirt Roads’) and ‘Breakthrough Artist of the Year’.
Riegling continues his rapid ascent as a steadfast road warrior and recently announced his upcoming North American headline run ‘In The Feeling Tour’ set for fall 2026, alongside festival and support slots for Dierks Bentley and Parker McCollum amongst others. On April 18 2026, Riegling will take the stage at Toronto’s iconic Massey Hall for a special One Night Only ‘Live In Concert’, currently sold-out (more info here) and is set to make his Grand Ole Opry debut April 22.

ABOUT OWEN RIEGLING:
Canadian country artist and award-winning singer-songwriter Owen Riegling is quickly emerging as one of the genre’s most authentic and dynamic new voices. Raised in the farming community of Mildmay, Ontario (pop. 1,200), Riegling pairs small-town soul with a modern, arena-ready edge.
After winning the 2022 Boots & Hearts Festival Emerging Artist Competition and signing with Universal Music Canada, Riegling broke through with his platinum-certified hit ‘Old Dirt Roads’. His expanded EP-turned-album Bruce County (From The Beginning) earned major recognition, including 2025 CCMA Album of the Year, multiple Country Music of Ontario Awards, and a 2025 Juno Award nomination for Breakthrough Artist of the Year. With more than 170 million global streams, his momentum continues to build.
A relentless performer, Riegling has headlined his own shows and supported artists including Brett Young, Jake Owen, Tyler Hubbard, Chase Rice, Tyler Braden, Kashus Kulpepper, Dierks Bentley and more. Life on the road paired with major personal milestones, including his recent marriage to longtime partner Liv, shaped the emotional core of his new Universal Music Canada/Big Loud album, In The Feeling. Produced in Nashville by Oscar Charles and featuring collaborations with some of Nashville’s most respected songwriters, In The Feeling captures a defining chapter of growth and self-discovery. The project finds Riegling wrestling with identity, distance from home, and the balance between ambition and belonging. Radio hit ‘Taillight This Town’ reflects that push-and-pull between leaving and longing, while the highly energetic ‘Love Hate Love’ showcases his big stage energy and evolving confidence.
Grounded in family, community and the values that shaped him, Riegling blends vulnerability with convictions as his sound matures, so does his sense of self. “I’m just making the music that I would want to listen to,” Riegling says. “I’m not trying to be anybody other than myself.”
From rural Canada to international stages, Riegling is no longer simply chasing the dream, he is fully stepping into it. It’s official: on In The Feeling, Owen Riegling has found himself. Now – it’s your turn to find him.
