Jon Pardi’s recently announced fifth studio album, “Honkytonk Hollywood,” promises to deliver the most liberated, shapeshifting record of his career. With 17 diverse tracks, the album infuses his signature twang with fresh energy, while staying true to his fearless nature. Known to “apply new ideas to country’s old sounds” (Los Angeles Times) and “bring authenticity back into Country music” (People), Pardi has been leading the charge to modernize honkytonk with roaring guitars and a roaring, good-time spirit. The Capitol Records Nashville artist has spent over a decade blazing down the highway, with four Top 5 albums to his name— including 2016’s Platinum-certified No. One CALIFORNIA SUNRISE and the 2019 CMA and ACM Album of the Year-nominated HEARTACHE MEDICATION. Known for his punchy, against-the-wind bravado, 14 RIAA-certified singles feature six No. Ones (like the back-to-back 6x-Platinum “Head Over Boots” and “Dirt On My Boots), 9.3 billion global streams and international headlining acclaim. Yet his restless spirit remains. The charismatic star’s HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD TOUR will find Pardi headlining arenas and amphitheaters across the US this spring after headlining some of Australia’s biggest venues and festivals.
