Nashville may be the capital of country, but the music of Jon Pardi proves that country and western are still a potent mix. Staying true to a classic Southern twang, the California-born musician delights with traditional riffs on acoustic guitars, banjos, and fiddles. His narratives are rich with the trials of human experience, and coupled with his high-energy and enthusiastic performances, Pardi becomes a sensation that can hold his own on the highly competitive country music scene.
