Ginny Owens Books 40+ Fall 2005 Tour Dates

Rocketown recording artist Ginny Owens plans to launch her Oct. 11 studio release, Long Way Home, with a packed Fall schedule of tour dates, benefit concerts and promotional appearances. Long known as the hardest working woman in Christian music, Owens is balancing her time between radio and retail visits, listen-first concerts to debut her new CD, and her ongoing work with Habitat for Humanity via her non-profit organization, Fingerprint Initiative.

Rocketown Records President Don Donahue said, “’The Today Show’ has ‘Where in the world is Matt Lauer?’ At Rocketown Records, our staff has our very own version of that theme. We call it, ‘Where in the world is Ginny Owens!’ I don't know I've ever been around an artist with Ginny’s drive and determination. It truly is a gift for a label to have an artist who doesn't seem to know the meaning of the word, 'no.’ If you are in the United States between now and the end of the year, there’s a pretty great chance that you'll be within 25 miles of a Ginny Owens tour stop.”

Owens’ extraordinary fourth quarter is driven by her desire to serve her neighbor, wherever they may be. In partnership with Fingerprint Initiative, Owens’ Long Way Home Street Week (Oct. 8-12) was originally slated to culminate with the build of a Habitat for Humanity house in New Orleans for a family in which both parents are disabled. The devastation of Hurricane Katrina temporarily put those plans on hold as Habitat re-evaluates needs in the area. Owens, who grew up two hours north of New Orleans and who released Live from New Orleans (CD and DVD) earlier this year, is working with Habitat on a daily basis to establish a new plan for the area and the home she is sponsoring. Look for more news in the coming days as new plans are announced.
