Jon Pardi loves being on the road with Dierks Bentley on the What the Hell Tour, which also features pal Cole Swindell, because the vibe on the road is like family. Speaking of family, the tall troubadour has also made quite an impression on Dierks’ daughters, Evie and Jordan.

“I love Dierks Bentley, being on tour with Dierks Bentley. He’s awesome. His girls are always excited to see me. His little girls are always like, ‘Hey, Jooooonnnn!’ They’re always excited to see me, which is super cute. They tried roping again. I brought the dummy out there for them, and it was a lot of fun,” says Jon. “Dierks does a great job of keeping everybody like they’re family, even from his crew, his truck drivers to the catering people to the opening acts, so he does a really good job, and I’ve always admired that about him. And having Cole Swindell out there with us, it’s just a bunch of friends on the road living the dream.”

Jon, who is making his way up the country charts with his Top 20 hit “Heartache on the Dance Floor,” will meet back up with Dierks and Cole as the What the Hell Tour returns to the road Thursday (July 13th) in Jacksonville, Florida.
