NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Country artist Jon Pardi will release his debut album, Write You A Song, Jan. 14, 2014.  Pardi’s high-energy approach, perfected on stages throughout his native California, has its stamp all over his Capitol Records Nashville debut.

Write You A Song features Pardi’s latest Top 25 and climbing single “Up All Night,” his previous Top 25 tune, “Missin’ You Crazy,” plus nine more previously unreleased tracks.  Pardi co-produced the album, as well as co-wrote all but one of the 11 tracks on Write You A Song, making this release especially meaningful for the up-and-coming star. 

“This album represents the last four years of my life from relationships to playing music,” shares Pardi. “It’s a fun, upbeat album with songs about life and love.”  A natural storyteller, he writes what he knows, spinning tales born of his dues-paying days and bringing it all together into a strong, cohesive musical statement.  “If you can take a piece of life and put it in a song,” says Pardi, “it’s going to be a good song—especially if it’s from the heart.”

Co-produced with Bart Butler, a friend and a co-writer on many of the album tracks, Write You A Song delivers a sound that is uniquely Pardi – a traditionalist at heart, influenced by his grandmother’s classic country tastes in George Strait and ALABAMA, but with just a bit of swagger that gives a little edge to his undeniable appeal.

Jon Pardi (writing songs) OC: …that line. :27
“It comes in a circle. It’s always shifting. You never know what you’re gonna get first.  For me a lot of times, it’s melodies or a feeling. You get that feeling, and that’s where a song, if you get a feeling, that’s where people are gonna connect, even if it’s just a feeling you have singing a melody that have no words or words – we call ‘em dummy words – that don’t make any sense, but somehow you can keep those words make sense with that line.”
