“Mr. Saturday Night Tour” with special guests Priscilla Block and Meghan Patrick
ACM and CMA Award-winning Singer, Songwriter, Producer Jon Pardi announced the extension of his first official headlining run across the globe, the “Mr. Saturday Night Tour,” produced by Live Nation. The sixteen additional tour dates kick off September 5th in Baltimore, MD and will run through October to include a performance at Michigan Lottery Amphitheatre on Friday, September 13 at 7 p.m. Artists Priscilla Block and Meghan Patrick serve as support. Named after his latest critically-acclaimed album, Mr. Saturday Night, the tour recently returned from its 10-date sold-out UK and European run, with Pardi bringing his signature sound and “state-of-the-art blend of traditional instrumentation and progressive grooves that point to country's future” (Rolling Stone).
Since first hitting the country landscape, Jon Pardi has long since separated himself from the pack, carving a lane that was all his own by producing, writing, and singing songs he created from the melodies up, and earning praise for it. “Jon Pardi cut a path through modern country’s embrace of pop, hip-hop and EDM” (The New York Times) with “an emboldened work… a distilling of his sound into a more potent form that draws both vitality and assurance from his anything-but-sterile relationship to his tradition’s modern era” (NPR). Pardi is “a leader among a growing number of artists bringing back fiddle, steel and twang” (People). “Even when he’s singing sad songs, he wants people to have a good time” (Associated Press).
Featured by NPR, Paste, Billboard, The Tennessean and more, Pardi’s album Mr. Saturday Night proved Pardi has “blazed his own trail over the past decade” (Billboard), with Taste of Country noting, his “refusal to chase sets Mr. Saturday Night apart” and Nash News raving, Mr. Saturday Night “proves he might be the most successful at combining the old-school sound with today’s need for hooks.” Mr. Saturday Night followed his critically acclaimed album-Heartache Medication-Pardi’s CMA and ACM Album of the Year nominated project. Heartache Medication debuted among the top albums on Billboard’s Country Albums chart and was named in 2019 Rolling Stone’s “Best Album of the Year” and by the Los Angeles Times as one of the (Top 10) “Best Albums of the Year.” Prior to Heartache Medication, Pardi released his breakthrough Platinum-selling album, California Sunrise, which featured the multi-platinum, chart-topping hits “Dirt On My Boots,” “Head Over Boots,” “Heartache On The Dance Floor” and “Night Shift.”Named a “hero in the making” (Variety), Pardi has earned several No. 1s on country radio and is noted for his “long-lasting mark on the genre” (MusicRow) and his impressive ability to carve out his own path creating “the kind of country music multiple generations came to know, and love can still wok on a mass scale” (Variety). Filled with fiddle, twang and steel guitar, Pardi continues to “apply new ideas to country’s old sounds” (Los Angeles Times) and “bring authenticity back into Country music” (People).
