Jon Pardi has been hitting the streets on the Tie One On Tour with new pals Frankie Ballard and Miss Willie Brown. He described the trek initially as a “rowdy, beer-drinkin’ good time,” and it sounds as though that prediction has come true, at least in part. “We’re just out there hittin’ the honkytonks and bars, wherever we can play, and it’s been really fun,” says Jon. “We all get along. It’s a lot of fun, and…it’s just a lot of talent on the stage.”

Since he’s been on the road so much these last several months, he’s not been able to see the inside of his gym as often as he’d like, which is quite the challenge in staying healthy on the road. “My biggest challenge on the road? Putting on the pounds, man,” he says. “Sometimes it just feels good to sleep in, I tell you, instead of waking up and going jogging…and pizza, it’s the pizza man, we had to outlaw pizza, like ‘No more pizza after the shows!’”

Jon is closing in on the Top 25 with his single “Missin’ You Crazy.”

“We’re just out there hittin’ the honky tonks and bars, wherever we can play and it’s been really fun. Miss Willie Brown and Frankie Ballard are awesome, we all get along, it’s a lot of fun and everybody’s a solid act. It’s just a lot of talent on the stage.”

“My biggest challenge on the road? Putting on the pounds, man! I’m like, ‘Oh man, whew!’ [I’m] getting a little bit of a…beer belly. But, no, I’m not. It’s hard working out and kind of like managing my time, ’cause sometimes it just feels good to sleep in, I tell you, instead of waking up and going jogging. But other than that, that’s probably the hardest thing. And pizza, it’s the pizza man, we had to outlaw pizza, like ‘No more pizza after the shows!’”
