Jon Pardi Admits His Lifestyle Has Changed After Welcoming Baby Number 2

Jon Pardi stopped by The Bobby Bones Show to talk about new music, how his life has changed now being a father of two, reveal if he has a new album coming out soon and more!  

Jon Pardi and his wife, Summer, welcomed their second daughter, Sienna Grace Pardi, back in July 2024. And this time around, they have been a lot more chill with baby number two, compared to when they had their first baby, Presley Fawn, in 2023. When choosing what to name their second baby, Pardi’s wife loved the name Sienna and he liked the name Grace, so they combined them because they thought it sounded good together. Now that he is a father of two, his life has changed in many ways. Before, they could just hop in the car and go somewhere fast, now it’s a whole ordeal and takes forever packing all the things their kids need. He’s also staying home a lot more and his party days have had to take a back seat. Another thing he’s focusing more on now that he’s a father of two is his health and making sure he takes better care of himself.  

Pardi released his new song “Friday Night Heartbreaker” and described it as a “hot girl warning song” and a PSA so people don’t get their heartbroken. It’s a fun song that will get people dancing. He gravitated towards it because it has a “cool, spooky vibe” and it’s a different type of song for him. For the new chapter of music he’s working on, he partnered with producer Jay Joyce and the two immediately hit it off. He challenged him to change his sound and helped him create fresh, new music. He thought “Friday Night Heartbreaker” was a great lead off for the new project because it screams “listen to me.”  

Pardi is doing a bunch of shows until the end of the year, including his Christmas shows, which he loves. He did one Christmas show in New York City last year and now they are bringing that show to venues in the West Coast and chose to do them in casinos because there is always room, and he really wants people to hear the 15-piece band he brings on stage with him. He’s also doing his Mr. Saturday Night Tour which is all amphitheaters, both tours are keeping him busy, but he said it’s a lot of fun. Before a show, Pardi will warm up his voice by drinking hot water and doing vocal exercises. If he were to go on stage without doing a vocal warmup, he would be good to go by the third song.  

Pardi is known for his signature cowboy hat, but he does get recognized in public if he’s not wearing it. He recalled a time when he was at a Top Golf outside of Philadelphia and wore a polo shirt, shorts and no cowboy hat and thought no one would recognize him. Then, two teenage girls and their mom came up to him asking for a picture and he couldn’t believe it. He is 6’4 so he is hard to miss, also his wife is always posting pictures of their life that fans like to keep up with.  

His favorite song of his is ”Head Over Boots” because you can dance to it and it’s a fun song about falling in love. When he wrote that song, he went to a Texas dancehall and saw everyone was dancing to sad music. He realized people could really use a dancing song about falling in love and that’s what inspired it. When he creates music, he does it to try and hit people’s emotions and make them feel something. The song became his first number one, and it also made people feel happier when they were dancing so it was a good moment and it’s the last song he plays during his shows. Pardi shared his Mount Rushmore of songs include “On The Road Again” by Willie Nelson, “I’m Gonna Find Another You” by John Mayer, “My Girl” by The Temptations.  

On Pardi’s new record, they went after the soul in his voice. He also revealed that the new record has a father daughter song called “She Drives Away,” which he described as very beautiful. He shared that his new record is personal, but it still makes you want to go dancing and it will be available at the top of next year!
