Jon Pardi drops His Fifth Studio Album Honkytonk Hollywood

JON PARDI TAKES HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD TO NEW YORK CITY FOR NATIONAL TELEVISION PERFORMANCES AND EXCLUSIVE FAN EVENT

The “Honky-Tonk Hero” (Esquire)

Releases His Fifth Studio Album Today

Nashville, TN - April 11, 2025 – With roaring guitars and a roaring, good-time spirit, “Honky-Tonk Hero” (Esquire) Jon Pardi’s reputation for punchy, against-the-wind bravado continues to grow, today with the release of his fifth studio album HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD, out now. The 17-track album is the spiritual successor to his fearless breakout hits, and once again finds Pardi pulling out the stops to stay true to himself – yet giving his signature sound a new spark. Some tracks ring with pristine, pure-country tenderness, while others embrace fuzzed-out fiddles and soaring tripled guitars, or grungy bass lines and bottomless grooves.

To celebrate the release, Pardi will head to New York City to for first-ever performances of the album’s title track on NBC’s TODAY this Monday (4/14) before visiting Fox & Friends on Tuesday (4/15) to perform the album’s timeless “He Went To Work.” Later that evening, he will host an exclusive album release event at Common Country Bar for one of the first-ever performances of new tracks as well as some of his biggest hits. Fans can catch up with the California native with Esquire’s in-depth interview about the album online HERE and in the new April/May issue.

REVIEW: Ultimately, ‘Honkytonk Hollywood' is Jon Pardi’s boldest and most varied album to date. When it rocks, it’s exhilarating and I, personally, still think it's where he excels with songs like ‘Friday Night Heartbreaker,' Rush' and ‘Hard Knocks.' However, where the album leans into smooth, California-tinged retro-country, it’s also effortlessly cool and whilst Pardi's honkytonk roots are still present, this album proves that he is an artist willing to push boundaries and reveal new facets of himself as he matures and ages. It’s an exciting, daring step forward—and a reminder that country music is at its best when it embraces evolution - 4 STARS EF COUNTRY

Never afraid to break from the pack, fourteen RIAA-certified singles feature six No. One's (like the back-to-back 6x-Platinum “Head Over Boots” and “Dirt On My Boots”), four Top 5 albums (including 2016’s Platinum No. One, CALIFORNIA SUNRISE) and with years of blue-collar barnstorming behind him, the California native has earned his international headlining acclaim, alongside 9.3 billion global streams. After just headlining shows in Australia including CMC Rocks, the multi-Platinum country star and “spirited entertainer, with infectious energy” (Star Tribune) will kick off his HONKYTONK HOLLYWOOD TOUR on April 25, hitting arenas and amphitheaters across the US with support from Corey Kent on select dates and Kassi Ashton.
