Jon Pardi has carved out his own lane in country music, blending traditional instrumentation with modern influences. The ACM and CMA award-winning artist is known for his fiddle, steel guitar, and honky-tonk sound, earning praise for bringing authenticity back to the genre.
A California native, Pardi made history in 2023 as the first artist from the state to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry, presented by Garth Brooks. That year, he also released his first Christmas album, Merry Christmas From Jon Pardi, and celebrated his sixth No. 1 country radio hit, “Your Heart or Mine,” from his ACM Album of the Year-nominated Mr. Saturday Night.
Pardi’s previous albums have garnered critical and commercial success. Heartache Medication (2019) received CMA and ACM Album of the Year nominations and was named one of Rolling Stone’s Best Albums of the Year. His breakthrough album, California Sunrise (2016), featured multi-platinum hits like “Dirt on My Boots” and “Head Over Boots.”
