ACL 2021: Jon Pardi

 Friday at 7pm.  I guess it shows how out of touch I am when I'm still previewing bands I don't recognize in the prime headlining spots. At 6pm is a DJ that goes by Lane 8 who is playing the Tito's tent. Mellow electronic music that reminds me of William Orbit.  He's playing opposite Black Pumas and Megan Thee Stallion, though.  

Jon Pardi is a mainstream country artist that attempts to adhere to more traditional country sounds.  Here is a review of his recent album.  It still sounds pretty mainstream to me.  Lots of songs about drinking.  A good warmup for George Strait, though.

He plays opposite Erykah Badu.  Also playing is Dermot Kennedy who is an Irish singer that apparently is pretty popular.  Rock ballads.  Probably gets played on KGSR/ACL Radio.  Not my cup of tea.  If you want to sample "Giants" is one of his hits.

Two thumbs down for Jon Party.... I'll be at Erykah Badu.
