Jordan Davis grew up in Shreveport, Louisiana, and since he’s experienced Mardi Gras nearly every year of his life, he’s got a lot of advice for those attending for the first time.

“My main piece of advice is everybody needs to experience New Orleans at least once,” says Jordan. “Another piece is just pace yourself. It is pretty much a month-long party, so just pace yourself, try to stay hydrated that’s not alcohol, have a blast and catch a bunch of beads. Get a sign – that’s another piece of advice. If you’re really going after beads, get something that catches their eyes. Also, when it comes to making signs, best advice, make it a hoop, ‘cause if you have somebody on a float, if they have something to throw at, you’re gonna get a ton more beads.”

Mardi Gras Day is next Tuesday (February 25th). Also known as Fat Tuesday, it’s the last day of the Carnival season as it always falls the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. The most popular time to visit New Orleans is the extended weekend before Mardi Gras when you can catch parades, like Endymion, Bacchus, Zulu, Rex and all of the festive celebrations throughout the whole city.

The Louisiana native, who is on the road playing sold-out dates including a two-night stand in Denver at the end of the week, is making his way to the top of the country charts with his latest smash, “Slow Dance in a Parking Lot.”

Jordan Davis is selling out dates on his Trouble Town Tour, and he says some fans may be surprised at his rockin’ set.

“I think we surprise people in our live show. You know, ‘Singles You Up,’ ‘Take It From Me’ and ‘Slow Dance in a Parking Lot,’ those are three songs that definitely have a romantic side to ‘em, but I think when guys show up to the show – you know, I grew up with Southern Rock and Roll, so it’s a mixed bag. So, we cover songs from Tom Petty, Jason Isbell, the Allman Brothers, Pearl Jam, the Black Crowes. So, I think they get there and they still respect the songs like ‘Slow Dance in a Parking Lot,’ ‘Leaving New Orleans,’ ‘Goin’ Around,’ but there’s always a few songs that we play that they can pick their drinks up and be like, ‘Yeah, let’s rock out for a little bit.’”

Jordan takes his Trouble Town trek to the Midwest this weekend. On Thursday (February 6th), he’s in Cincinnati, followed by shows on Friday (February 7th) in Madison, Wisconsin and Saturday (February 8th) in Dubuque, Iowa.

The Louisiana native is sitting inside the Top 10 on the country charts with his latest single, “Slow Dance in a Parking Lot.”

Jordan Davis has been named as a new Celebrity Ambassador for the non-profit Ryan Seacrest Foundation (RSF). As ambassador, Jordan will help the organization by creating awareness, visiting patients in various studios at Childrens Hospitals around the nation, raising money and much more.

“I am beyond honored to be the newest ambassador for the Ryan Seacrest Foundation,” says the Louisiana native. “It’s been so rewarding to visit the different hospitals all over the country and spend time with the amazing kids and their families, as well as doctors and nurses.”

Jordan, who became a father late last year, has already visited four different Seacrest Studios, and he recently launched an online auction where fans will have the opportunity for a meet-and-greet and behind-the-scenes experience, with all funds raised supporting the organization.

“We are so thankful to have Jordan join us as a Celebrity Ambassador,” said Meredith Seacrest, RSF’s Executive Director and COO. “Over the last few years, we have been amazed by his ability to bring smiles to children and teens in Seacrest Studios – even in the toughest of circumstances.” For more information, go to ryanseacrestfoundation.org.

Jordan is currently making his way up the country charts with his latest hit, “Slow Dance in a Parking Lot” and performing for crowds on his Trouble Town Tour, which makes stops in Council Bluffs, Iowa February 20th and a two-night stand in Denver February 21st and 22nd.

This Sunday (February 2nd), millions of people around the world will be tuning in to the Super Bowl (the Big Game), including some of your favorite country artists. Some will be rooting for Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs, while others will be pulling for the Jimmy Garoppolo-led San Francisco 49ers.

Check out all the action at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami, Florida on Sunday at 6:30pm ET on FOX.

“There’s always something special about the energy that surrounds the beginning of a tour,” shares Davis. “Seeing people show up and sing along to songs that mean something to them doesn’t get old. We’re also bringing out some new songs on the road that we’re looking forward to fans hearing live for the first time.”

Jordan is making his way near the top of the country charts with his latest single, “Slow Dance in a Parking Lot,” the follow-up to his previous two No. 1 songs, “Take it From Me” and “Singles You Up.”

The Louisiana native also launched his Trouble Town Tour over the weekend with opening acts Kassi Ashton and Hailey Whitters.

Jordan Davis is flying up the country charts with his latest hit, “Slow Dance in a Parking Lot,” the follow-up to his previous two No. 1 hits, “Singles You Up” and “Take It From Me.”

The Louisiana native co-wrote the sentimental tune with Lonnie Fowler after talking about Lonnie’s first date with his now wife. It’s a true story. That was written with Lonnie Fowler. “We didn’t have an idea of what we were going to write that day, and we started talking about first dates,” says Jordan. “He asked me about my first date, which was not eventful at all, and then I asked him about his first date, and it was him and his wife on their way home, a Garth Brooks song comes on the radio, they pull in a parking lot and he asks her to slow dance. I was like, ‘Dude, if there’s ever a country song, that’s it right there.’”

Jordan will kick off his 2020 headlining Trouble Town Tour on Friday (January 10th) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The trek features opening acts Kassi Ashton and Hailey Whitters.

DRY VERSION (POEM):

Keith Urban
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St Nicholas soon would be there.

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads.

TJ Osborne
And ma in her ‘kerchief, and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap.

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.

Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

John Osborne
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below.

When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a miniature sleigh, and eight tinny reindeer.

Clare Dunn
With a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St Nick.

Lauren Alaina
More rapid than eagles his reindeer they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name!

“Now Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!
On, Comet! On, Cupid! On Donner and Blitzen!

To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away all!”

Caylee Hammack
So up to the house-top the reindeer they flew,
With the sleigh full of Toys, and St Nicholas too.

Darius Rucker
And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roof
The prancing and pawing of each little hoof.

As I drew in my head, and was turning around,
Down the chimney St Nicholas came with a bound.

Jordan Davis
He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,
And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot.

A bundle of Toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a peddler, just opening his pack.

Carrie Underwood
His eyes-how they twinkled! his dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!

Jon Pardi
His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow.

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath.

Brandon Lay
He had a broad face and a little round belly,
That shook when he laughed, like a bowlful of jelly!

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself!

Luke Bryan
A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,
Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread.

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,
And filled all the stockings, then turned with a jerk.

And laying his finger aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose!

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.

Alan Jackson
But I heard him exclaim, as he drove out of sight,
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good-night!”
