NASHVILLE, Tenn. – (August 28, 2023) – Capitol Records Nashville Multi-Platinum-selling singer/songwriter/producer Jon Pardi earns his sixth career No. 1 this week with “Your Heart Or Mine.” Written by Justin Ebach, John Pierce, and album co-producer Bart Butler, “Your Heart Or Mine” is the follow-up to his No. 1 hit “Last Night Lonely” off Pardi’s critically acclaimed project Mr. Saturday Night. Earlier this year, Mr. Saturday Night earned an ACM Album of the Year nod, Pardi’s third consecutive nomination in category as both artist and producer. Pardi celebrates his sixth chart-topper ahead of his Mr. Saturday Night Tour kicking off in Knoxville, Tenn. on Sept. 28.
In April, Pardi received a first-of-its-kind-invitation in front of thousands of screaming fans at California’s Stagecoach Festival – a video message from Opry member and Country Music Hall of Famer Alan Jackson officially inviting Pardi to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry. Pardi, who will be the only California native within the Opry ranks, is set for his induction on Oct. 24. Click HERE to watch Pardi’s Stagecoach invitation. Tickets are on sale now for all Opry 2023 shows at (615) 871-OPRY and opry.com.
Since first hitting the country landscape, Pardi, now with over 8.4 Billion in global consumption, has long since separated himself from the pack. He has carved a lane all his own by producing, writing, and singing songs he created from the melodies up, and earning praise for it. “Jon Pardi cut a path through modern country’s embrace of pop, hip-hop and EDM” (The New York Times) with “an emboldened work… a distilling of his sound into a more potent form that draws both vitality and assurance from his anything-but-sterile relationship to his tradition’s modern era” (NPR). With his “state-of-the-art blend of traditional instrumentation and progressive grooves that point to country’s future” (Rolling Stone), Pardi is “a leader among a growing number of artists bringing back fiddle, steel and twang” (People). “Even when he’s singing sad songs, he wants people to have a good time” (Associated Press).
Named a “hero in the making” (Variety), Pardi has earned six No. 1s on country radio and is noted for his “long-lasting mark on the genre” (MusicRow) and creating “the kind of country music multiple generations came to know, and love can still wok on a mass scale” (Variety). Filled with fiddle, twang and steel guitar, Pardi continues to “apply new ideas to country’s old sounds” (Los Angeles Times) and “bring authenticity back into Country music” (People).
