I don't know about you, but I was still learning how to tuck my shirt into my pants in preschool. JON PARDI? He already had his career path mapped out. That's what he shared in an interview with "American Songwriter".
Quote, "I went to preschool, and I told them I was going to be Merle Haggard, Randy Travis, and George Strait." Those three guys are legends for many reasons, one being that they did it year after year after year. That's Jon's plan.
Quote, "[It's] about the longevity. That's what makes me a little different. With my career, sometimes it takes a little longer. I don't have a rocket ship. I have a 1952 warplane that is just cruising. We're staying at a steady pace."
He also announced the details of his "Ain't Always the Cowboy Tour". It kicks off July 14th in Irving, Texas and wraps October 1st in Nashville. LAINEY WILSON and HAILEY WHITTERS are the openers. Jon's Facebook has the dates.
