Jon Pardi loved being on the road with Dierks Bentley on the What the Hell Tour in 2017, mainly because the vibe on the road is like family. Speaking of family, the tall troubadour has also made quite an impression on Dierks’ daughters, Evie and Jordan.

“I love Dierks Bentley, being on tour with Dierks Bentley. He’s awesome. His girls are always excited to see me. His little girls are always like, ‘Hey, Jooooonnnn!’ They’re always excited to see me, which is super cute. They tried roping again. I brought the dummy out there for them, and it was a lot of fun,” says Jon. “Dierks does a great job of keeping everybody like they’re family, even from his crew, his truck drivers to the catering people to the opening acts, so he does a really good job, and I’ve always admired that about him.”

Jon will head back out with Dierks on the Burning Man Tour, which kicks off January 17th in Hamilton, Ontario.

Jon is currently sitting inside the Top 20 on the country charts with “Night Shift.”
