Jon Pardi is no stranger to the Alabama Gulf Coast. In fact, the CMA and ACM award winning artist has even recorded one of his top videos at the famous Flora-Bama.


Now is will be performing at The Wharf Amphitheatre on October 5th and tickets go on sale this Friday. To get advance tickets or view his tour schedule click HERE.


Jon Pardi and his group stopped by the Flora-Bama and shot the video for his new release "Tequila Little Time" which was perfect to launch on Cinco de Mayo.


"Tequila Little Time" comes from a trip to California when Pardi made music, and memories, in a songwriting retreat with Luke Laird ("Hard To Forget," "Dirt on My Boots") and Rhett Akins ("What's Your Country Song," "I Lived It").


"We'd sit in the garage in lawn chairs and drink beer and listen to the radio," recalls Akins. "It was like we lived in California and we were just teenagers starting a band."


They spent several days in the studio over one of Pardi's parents' garages, a facility dubbed Shelly's Deli because the singer's mom keeps guests supplied with sandwiches. They slept on air mattresses, wrote fairly steadily for three days and took a couple of trips in Pardi's 1978 Ford Bronco, with the burning scent of a nearby forest fire coloring their outdoor excursions.


"Jon's mom breeds bulldogs, so in the garage connected to the house, there had to be about 15 or 20 bulldogs," says Laird. "Just the wildest thing. I know the bulldog Maren Morris has [Pancake], she bought it from her. I think a few different country stars have gotten bulldogs from Jon Pardi's mom."
