JON PARDI GIVES PROPS TO HIS GRANDMOTHER FOR HIS LOVE OF COUNTRY MUSIC.
Artist
Jon Pardi

Jon Pardi has been singing and playing music since probably before he can remember, and country music was always his love. His grandmother played a huge role in his love of all things country music and would drag out her karaoke machine every time he visited. “My grandmother loved to sing, and she would sing anywhere she could, ‘cause it made her happy,” recalls Jon. “And so, when my parents would leave me with her while they went to work, most of the time we were in the little room with George Strait tapes and Garth Brooks and Randy Travis, George Jones. I mean, all just traditional country singin’ and having a good time recording ourselves.”

He says she also helped him develop his performing skills, as well. “My grandma was a great performer, I mean that’s really all. She didn’t have the great voice, but she could definitely entertain a room, and I got some of that too I think from her.”

Jon is poised to enter the top of the country charts with his latest hit, “Night Shift.”

Audio / Jon Pardi says he got his musical talent and on-stage personality from his grandmother.

“My grandmother loved to sing, and she would sing anywhere she could ‘cause it made her happy. And so when my parents would leave me with her while they went to work, most of the time we were in the little room when George Strait tapes and Garth Brooks, and Randy Travis, George Jones, I mean all just traditional country singin’ and having a good time recording ourselves. And so growing up with that, it really just, I grew up singing so it really helped me get my voice in, and my grandma was a great performer, I mean that’s really all. She didn’t have the great voice, but she could definitely entertain a room and I got some of that too I think from her.”
