Jordan Davis is from Shreveport, Louisiana, and he says growing up there has heavily influenced his music.
“I’m from Shreveport, Louisiana and I think that it’s influenced my music, basically because it’s just a melting pot,” says Jordan. “You know, the musical history of Shreveport goes back very, very far, back to the Louisiana Hayride, and I think the music is a huge part of what Shreveport is. Being that close to Mississippi, being in the same state as New Orleans, there’s just a huge culture, mixed bag of different kinds of music. Then you throw in the music that’s been in my family – my dad, my mom, my uncle – I think it just kind of made for this perfect storm of what my music is today.”
Jordan is sitting inside the Top 10 on the country charts with his debut song, “Singles You Up.” It’s the first release from his upcoming album, Home State, which comes out March 23rd.
Jordan will join Jake Owen and Chris Janson on the Life’s Whatcha Make It Tour, kicking off May 18th in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
