Jordan Davis is selling out dates on his Trouble Town Tour, and he says some fans may be surprised at his rockin’ set.
“I think we surprise people in our live show. You know, ‘Singles You Up,’ ‘Take It From Me’ and ‘Slow Dance in a Parking Lot,’ those are three songs that definitely have a romantic side to ‘em, but I think when guys show up to the show – you know, I grew up with Southern Rock and Roll, so it’s a mixed bag. So, we cover songs from Tom Petty, Jason Isbell, the Allman Brothers, Pearl Jam, the Black Crowes. So, I think they get there and they still respect the songs like ‘Slow Dance in a Parking Lot,’ ‘Leaving New Orleans,’ ‘Goin’ Around,’ but there’s always a few songs that we play that they can pick their drinks up and be like, ‘Yeah, let’s rock out for a little bit.’”
Jordan takes his Trouble Town trek to the Midwest this weekend. On Thursday (February 6th), he’s in Cincinnati, followed by shows on Friday (February 7th) in Madison, Wisconsin and Saturday (February 8th) in Dubuque, Iowa.
The Louisiana native is sitting inside the Top 10 on the country charts with his latest single, “Slow Dance in a Parking Lot.”

Guys don’t want to hear love songs all the time, so it’s very cool for us to look out and see a mixed bag of people out there enjoying the show.”
