About Jon Pardi:
Jon Pardi may be new to the country music scene, but his strikingly original songs and relaxed confidence would suggest otherwise. Hailing from a small town in Northern California, Pardi’s first taste of country music stardom started in his Grandmother’s house, where he performed karaoke for her at the tender age of 3. The singer-songwriter spent his youth perfecting his craft – by 8 years old, he was playing the guitar and at 12, he was writing his own songs. Pardi had his first band at age 14, performing a mixture of classic rock and country, all the while polishing his live performance skills. Determined to make his dream of country music fame a reality, Pardi moved to Nashville at 22 years old, where his unique musical style gained the attention of Song Factory which led to a publishing contract, and later a record deal. http://www.myspace.com/jonpardi
