NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Oct. 1, 2019) – ACM/CMA award-winning artist Jon Pardi kicks off his Heartache Medication tour with two career-first, sold-out headlining shows at the historic Ryman Auditorium tonight (10/1) and tomorrow night (10/2). Featuring Riley Green as direct support, the Ryman Auditorium shows mark the official launch of Pardi’s headlining tour, coming to cities nationwide this fall. In a recent interview with ET, Pardi shared, “For me, it’s a stamp of history. You can always play the Ryman, but your first time is something you never forget.” View the full list of tour dates below.
Pardi’s eagerly-awaited album Heartache Medication arrived on Friday to overwhelming critical-acclaim lauding him as an artist with an impressive ability to carve out his own path and one that “…could very well be a long-lasting mark on the genre…” (Music Row).
Featured by NPR, the Associated Press, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Billboard’s Most Anticipated Albums of Fall 2019, ET, People, and Rolling Stone, critics continue to praise the standout collection of songs, hailing; “…an emboldened work…” – NPR First Listen
“Pardi’s music is strong stuff” – Associated Press
“split the difference between Alan Jackson and Bob Seger” with California Sunrise and “Heartache Medication continues that direction with honky-tonkin’, boot-stompin’ tracks about whiskey, women and song.” – The New York Times
“Pardi’s evolved approach to country’s heritage sets him apart at a moment when Nashville seems to want to divide itself into the trailblazers and the preservationists.” – Los Angeles Times
“Name-checking his country-music heroes like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Merle Haggard, the California native places himself in the same lineage — both as preservationist and rule-breaker.” – Rolling Stone Country
“Jon Pardi cut a path through modern country’s embrace of pop, hip-hop and EDM…” – TheNew York Times
“The influence of legends like Alan Jackson and George Strait permeate Heartache Medication, filled with clever lyrical twists and dancehall ready romps…” – Music Row
“Instead of borrowing a moniker from one of his heroes, he’s paving his way with his own brand of two-stepping, steel-guitar-laden traditional country music.” – The Tennessean
Pardi just performed on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! outdoor stage last night.In addition, he capped off release week with a celebratory, headlining album release show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City, and made several appearances and performances including Pandora’s Live Concert series, stops at YouTube’s New York headquarters, iHeart, People and AOL Build. Heartache Medication is the followup to his co-produced, platinum-selling breakthrough #1 album California Sunrise and multi-platinum, chart-topping hits “Dirt On My Boots,” “Head Over Boots,” “Heartache On The Dance Floor” and “Night Shift.” Heartache Medication is available here:http://strm.to/HeartacheMedicationPR.
