Jon Pardi is this week’s featured host on Shawn Parr’s Backstage Country (August 21st-25th).

The multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and producer has a lot to be thankful for this year. He continues to celebrate the success of his fourth studio album, Mr. Saturday Night which features his fifth No. 1 hit at country radio, “Last Night Lonely.”

Pardi was surprised on stage during his performance at Stagecoach by the one and only Guy Fieri back in April with an invite to join the Grand Ole Opry. The country singer will officially be inducted as the newest member on October 24th.

Pardi will kick off his 2023 Mr. Saturday Night World Tour later this summer with special guests Midland, Ella Langley, Randall King, Jackson Dean, and DJ Highmax on select dates. The U.S. portion of the tour kicks off in late September.
