JORDAN DAVIS TAKES TOURING TIPS FROM KIP, CHRIS AND JAKE.

JORDAN DAVIS TAKES TOURING TIPS FROM KIP, CHRIS AND JAKE.
Artist
Jordan Davis

Jordan Davis is a student of his craft, watching folks he has toured with, including Kip Moore, Chris Janson and Jake Owen.

“I try to take away something from every artist. Going out with Kip, I took away from what he does. I don’t think he played the same show every night. Anybody who’s talked to Kip Moore, he’s a pretty passionate dude, and he has that same passion for his music. So, I kinda took that fire into my shows and trying to make the best show every night,” says the Louisiana native. “Going into playing with Chris, Chris Janson and Jake Owen, I mean Chris is a blast to watch and it doesn’t matter where he’s at, how long he’s playing, what he’s playing, he’s putting on the best show he can. And Jake is just a guy that is more kind of ‘fly by the seat of his pants,’ and it’s incredible for me to see his set list side stage every night and then see the songs they actually play…So, I mean every night for me to get to stand side stage and watch those guys, I try to kinda pull something from what they’re doing to try to better my show.”

Jordan is currently working his way across the country with Jake and Chris on the Life’s Whatcha Make It Tour 2018. Their next stop is Thursday (August 30th) in Birmingham, Alabama.

Jordan is closing in on the Top 30 with his latest song, “Take It From Me,” the follow-up to his recent No. 1 “Singles You Up.”

And Jake is just a guy that is more kind of ‘fly by the seat of his pants,’ and it’s incredible for me to see his set list side stage every night and then see the songs they actually play. I think that is something that any artist and any performer wants to get to that point with their band that out of nowhere it can go this way; as a fan and as a spectator, you would never know that that happened with him going back to his talk back mic and go, ‘Hey! I don’t want to play that song. We’re gonna play this.’ So, I mean every night for me to get to stand side stage and watch those guys, I try to kinda pull something from what they’re doing to try to better my show.”
