JON PARDI IS READY TO RELEASE HIS NEW ALBUM, CALIFORNIA SUNRISE.
Artist
Jon Pardi

Jon Pardi releases his new album, California Sunrise, Friday (June 17th), which features his Top 10 gold-certified single, “Head Over Boots.” The collection of 12 songs was co-produced by Jon and Bart Butler, who was also at the helm of Up All Night, Pardi’s 2014 debut album.

Jon says he feels like he picked the right songs for the project, half of which he wrote and half of which some of Nashville’s top tunesmith contributed. “California Sunrise is definitely where we meet in the middle where it’s going to show me a more mature, experienced artist instead of the young guy that’s just like gunning for it, you know. So, it’s a little bit more thought out, this record, and there’s a lot more outside cuts that Nashville songwriters stepped in,” says Jon. “A lot of people that have heard the record, they don’t know what song I didn’t write and I think as an artist that’s what you want. You want somebody to be like ‘you write all those songs because it sounds like you wrote them all.’ I say, ‘No, we just really went to work and we picked the right songs.’”

In the studio, Pardi and Butler captured a palpable live energy on California Sunrise by recording each song with a full band.
