Jon Pardi is an American country music singer and songwriter known for his neotraditional style that blends classic honky-tonk with modern flair. Born on May 20, 1985, in Dixon, California, Pardi developed a passion for country music early on, influenced by his grandmother’s love for artists like George Strait and Alan Jackson. He began writing songs at the age of 12 and performed in local venues while attending Butte College in Chico. Before releasing his own music, he toured as an opening act for Dierks Bentley in 2010.
Pardi’s debut single, “Missin’ You Crazy,” was released in 2012, leading up to his first studio album, Write You a Song, in 2014. His breakthrough came with the 2016 album California Sunrise, featuring the hit “Head Over Boots,” which became his first number-one single on the Country Airplay chart. Subsequent albums include Heartache Medication (2019), Mr. Saturday Night (2022), and Honkytonk Hollywood (2025), the latter produced by Jay Joyce and marking a more mature phase in his career.
In his personal life, Pardi married Summer Duncan in November 2020. The couple has two daughters, Presley Fawn and Sienna Grace, born in 2023 and 2024, respectively. Fatherhood has influenced Pardi’s music, introducing deeper themes of love and responsibility into his work.
Pardi continues to tour extensively, bringing his energetic performances to fans across the country. His commitment to traditional country sounds, combined with his engaging stage presence, has solidified his place in the modern country music landscape.
