WHAT IT IS: The California native’s laid-back, fun-loving approach to life comes through in his music and his raucous live show, which he has been building coast-to-coast over the last few years. His charisma and authenticity strike a chord with county audiences, as he wins over fans one by one and show by show. Pardi’s sound pays homage to his musical heroes, including Dwight Yoakam, George Strait and Alan Jackson.
