October 1st means the official start of the holiday season…
Well, maybe not the holiday season, but the start of October typically indicates the final breaths of summer if you live in warmer states, which means the mind shifts from summer to fall and winter.
With that comes the announcement of Christmas projects. Jon Pardi is on the early wave this year, announcing a Christmas album slated for an October 27 release.
“Excited to announce that my Christmas album is coming out on October 27! Pre-save / pre-add it now at the link in my bio.
We’re also having a big ole Christmas party at the Beacon Theatre in NYC on December 16! Join the email + text list at jonpardi.com for presale info. All tickets on sale this Friday at 10 AM.”
Jon Pardi announced via Instagram and shared details of his Christmas party show.
To be released via Capitol Records, Pardi will have you all in the Christmas spirit before you can even shimmy out of your Halloween costume.
Earlier this year, Pardi told CMT:
“We’re really excited about it. We’re doing a damn Christmas record. It’s really fun. I’ve been in songwriter land and baby land and mixing land.”
Pardi also admitted that there won’t be any original music on the album, as he’s been busy writing his own material for his next country album.
However, he assured us that we can expect upbeat, good timin’ Christmas music:
“I did go through a lot more pop songs and other stuff. I can’t give it away because I was really detailed in what we’re recording. But we’re not singing ‘Silent Night’ or ‘O Holy Night’ or any boring-ass Christmas songs.”
He also referred to the project as “Christmas with a drink:”
“It’s very up-tempo and fun. I feel like there’s all kinds of weird Christmas songs that everybody does. It’s a merry Christmas party.”
While the album, I am sure, will itchy any honky tonk Christmas scratch, it is very neat that Pardi is doing an accompanying Christmas show.
Held at the beautiful Beacon Theatre in New York City in the heart of the Christmas season, I bet it will be a killer show.
The Rockettes can move over…Jon Pardi is coming to town.
