Jon Pardi is definitely off the market, ladies. At his second of two sold-out shows at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium, the California native proposed to his girlfriend, Summer Fawn Duncan…and she said yes!

After telling the crowd that the Ryman was one of the couple’s first date spots, he got down on bent knee to pop the question. The couple shared an “intimate moment” on stage while Lionel Richie’s “My Love” was piped in over the loud speakers.

His pal and recent tour partner, Dierks Bentley, was side stage taking a few photos of the moment and posted his congratulations on his socials.

“My man @jonpardipics crushing the @theryman stage and crushing life… so proud of you pal. Killer show with my all-time fav encore. Congrats to you and @summerfawn_duncan.”

Jon just released his third album, Heartache Medication, and is making his way up the country charts with the title track. His new fiancee appears in the video for “Heartache Medication.”

He takes his Heartache Medication Tour to Minneapolis on Friday (October 4th) and Milwaukee on Saturday (October 5th).

Jon Pardi releases critically-acclaimed album Heartache Medication today (9/27). Lauded as an artist that has “…cut a path through modern country’s embrace of pop, hip-hop and EDM…” (New York Times) and with a collection of songs that place him in the same lineage of “…country-music heroes like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard…both as a preservationist and rule-breaker” (Rolling Stone), Pardi’s new album is being called “..an emboldened work…one that draws both vitality and assurance from his anything-but-sterile relationship to his tradition’s modern era…” (NPR). Heartache Medication was first announced by the Associated Press, and was named in the New York Times fall preview and in the list of Billboard’s Most Anticipated Albums of fall 2019. The Los Angeles Times said, “Pardi’s evolved approach to country’s heritage sets him apart at a moment when Nashville seems to want to divide itself into the trailblazers and the preservationists.”Heartache Medication is the followup to Pardi’s breakthrough, Platinum-selling album California Sunrise, and is available today, here: http://strm.to/HeartacheMedicationPR.

Pardi co-wrote seven of the 14 tracks and co-produced the album alongside longtime collaborators Bart Butler and Ryan Gore. “I’m really proud of this record,” says Pardi. “I’m really proud of all the session players, and the songwriters that delivered great songs. I wrote half the record and Nashville stepped in and wrote the other half, and I’m very proud of that.”

Pardi kicked off release week with several performances including Pandora’s Live Concert Series, where he was recognized as a Pandora Billionaire, achieving over 1 billion lifetime spins on Pandora. In addition to that, he gave an exclusive performance from YouTube’s New York headquarters, and celebrated the release of his album with a special iHeartCountry Album Release Party hosted by Bobby Bones. Following stops at People Magazine and AOL Build, Pardi will take the stage tonight for his Hammerstein Ballroom album release event and concert in New York City. The special one-of-a-kind show will be available to fans to stream exclusively on Amazon Music’s Facebook at 8:45 p.m. EST.

Fans can also watch Pardi’s upcoming performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live Outdoor stage on Monday on ABC before he returns to Nashville for back-to-back, sold-out headlining shows at the famed Ryman Auditorium as part the Heartache Medication Tour.

Pardi’s headlining Heartache Medication Tour, kicks off with two career-first, sold out shows at the historic Ryman Auditorium on Oct. 1st and Oct. 2nd. Upcoming stops along the tour include Minneapolis, MN (10/4), Milwaukee, WI (10/5) and Oklahoma City, OK (10/10). Riley Green will serve as direct support.

Check out all of details below (including audio liners and soundbites, as well as transcriptions) to create your own content surrounding Jon’s new album release.

“You know ‘Head Over Boots’ was one of the countriest songs off California Sunrise,” the affable young man points out. “And it was one of our biggest singles, so it led us to feel like we could go in this direction. My label was like, ‘Don’t be afraid to be more traditional.  The ball’s in your court, man. We’re perfectly fine with this!’”

And so, Jon Pardi dug in, slung low and came back with Heartache Medication. An unrepentantly Bakersfield juke joint/Texas ice house proposition, it’s a cocktail of vintage Brooks & Dunn, stone cold Haggard, a strong shot of the smoothest and swinginest Strait, a long pour of Alan Jackson and equal measures Buck’n’Dwight. From the unapologetic lope of “Old Hat,” a declaration of the good ole boy code of honor, to the quick banjo-trimmed blessing “Starlight,” honoring loved ones who’ve passed, the 34-year old writer sought to re-establish as many classic idioms as possible.

With the twin-fiddle/Telecaster grounded title track, Pardi expands the sweeping “Fool Hearted Memory” classicism into a bar-stool coping strategy, while the turbo-thumping post-rockabilly “Me & Jack” recalls the humor-steeped hijinks of Cash or Waylon and Willie at their wittiest. There’s the fiddle-soaked “Call Me Country” with its ascending guitar solos, the mariachi horns of “Tequila Little Time,” the torch truth of “Don’t Blame It On The Whiskey,” with Lauren Alaina at her most aching, and the steel-stitched promenade turning high-test swing “Tied One On” offering a breadth of style that’s pure ‘90s octane.

Jon Pardi kicks off his Heartache Medication headlining tour with a sold-out two-night stand at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville on Tuesday (October 1st) and Wednesday (October 2nd). Newcomer Riley Green is set to open the shows.

“Headlining the Ryman and playing the Ryman is amazing. It’s like the mecca of country music, you know, and I love playing there just as a guest,” says Jon. “(It’ll) definitely be something I’ll never forget, and I know the crowd’s ready, and I think it’s gonna be a great show. I think the crowd’s gonna be awesome. I think it’s gonna be really loud. I think the crowd’s gonna be really loud down at The Ryman. We’ve got rowdy Pardi people coming out, and I’m excited.”

The California native just released his new album, Heartache Medication, and the title track is making its way up the country charts.

Jon Pardi is set to release his third studio album, Heartache Medication, on Friday (September 27th). Jon started working on the new project around the time he turned in his platinum-selling collection, California Sunrise, and he couldn’t be more excited to get it into the hands of his fans.

“I just want ’em to listen and enjoy it and have a great time and make it a soundtrack to their life. That’s what music’s really about, you know, to make memories with songs. There’s always a song that hear that’ll take you back, and I feel like Heartache Medication is definitely gonna have a lot of that,” says Jon. “It’s not really a love record; it’s like a fun, moving on, going out kind of party time, and it’s just a lot of fun. So, if you’re doing anything fun, Heartache Medication’s gonna be good. And you can dance and think about things, there’s a lot. But for fans, I just want them to listen to this and be like, ‘He did it again,’ because that’s what I’ve worked on making another great record, another start to finish.”

About Jon Pardi
ACM/CMA award-winning artist Jon Pardi is gearing up for the release of his album Heartache Medication, on Sept. 27th.

Jon Pardi recently talked to Men’s Health Magazine about his workout routine, what’s in his refrigerator, working out on the road and what keeps him grounded. He’s been trying to cut back on bread, flour and carbs, but when he has a cheat day, he loves Mexican food (rice, beans, etc.)

Men’s Health asked the California native if he indulges a sweet tooth, he opens the pantry and yells, “Boom! Coming in hot!,” as he slides an entire bucket of Red Vines across his kitchen island.

Jon, who is making his way up the country charts with “Heartache Medication,” works out between 3-5 days a week and looks to his trainer to help keep him in shape. He cites his height as being the reason leg workouts are tougher on him than say someone a little shorter than his nearly 6′ 4″ frame. “If you get a trainer, that’s all you do: legs,” he says. “So I got over that.”

Jon is currently on the West Coast performing as part of Dierks Bentley’s Burning Man Tour. They have stops Friday (September 6th) in Irvine, California; Saturday (September 7th) in Mountain View and Sunday (September 8th) in Wheatland.

For many decades, Labor Day was seen as a day for workers to voice their complaints and discuss better working conditions and pay.

U.S. Congress declared Labor Day a national holiday in 1894, and on Monday, September 2nd, we will once again celebrate the people in every occupation whose work and dedication make this nation great. Labor Day in the United States is a holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September. It is a celebration of the American labor movement and is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of workers.

Labor Day weekend also signals the unofficial end to summer, and many of the hottest country stars are taking a look back at some of the toughest jobs they had prior to making their mark in music or their dream job now.

Jon Pardi is increasing the anticipation for his new album, Heartache Medication, with the release of another instant grat track, “Tequila Little Time.”

Jon is making his way up the country charts with his latest hit, the title track “Heartache Medication.” The California native is also on the road with Dierks Bentley on the Burning Man Tour, which makes stops this weekend in Massachusetts and New Jersey. Jon will take his Heartache Medication on tour with his own headlining trek beginning with two sold-out shows at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium October 1st and 2nd.
