Jon Pardi

Listeners may be familiar with Jon Pardi's blend of traditional country with a modern flair from the country radio scene, where he had been making the rounds since 2012, which is when he released his debut single, "Missin' You Crazy." Born, in Dixon, California, Jonathan Ryan Pardi began writing music at the age of 12. By age 14 he'd started his own band, and after graduating from high school he headed straight for Nashville. He toured with Dierks Bently in 2010 and 2014, and served as an opening act for Alan Jackson's Keepin' It Country Tour, also in 2014. His first top 10 hit was the single "Up All Night" (2013), which became part of his debut studio album, "Write You a Song." The Capitol Nashville artist headlined his first tour in 2014 as well, the Up All Night Tour. His second studio album, the 12-song "California Sunrise," was released in June of 2016. His nomination for New Male Vocalist of the Year at the 2017 Academy of Country Music Awards was his first major industry honor.
