Jon Pardi Returns to the Gulf Coast

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. Pardi will be returning to the Gulf Coast to perform at The Wharf Ampitheater in Orange Beach, AL this fall on October 5th. Tickets are on sale now for purchase.

"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").

Background on the song, as co-writer Rhett Akins recalls it: "We'd sit in the garage in lawn chairs and drink beer and listen to the radio. 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.

Maybe Flora-Bama will get a glimpse of Pardi and his band come October at the Flora-Bama again, time will only tell, but the invitation always stands.
