Jon Pardi took to social media with a sneak peak of his upcoming tribute to legendary country singer, Randy Travis.
Pardi shared a clip filmed from the outside of Nashville Palace, a venue in Music City where Travis previously worked. Honoring Travis is a proud moment for Pardi, who “grew up on songs like ‘On the Other Hand’ and ‘Forever and Ever, Amen,’” he shared. Pardi said in the video:
“I’m at the Nashville Palace shooting some awesome stuff to honor Randy Travis, who is the recipient of the Artist of a Lifetime from CMT’s Artists of the Year show. So, I think it’s pretty awesome. Randy used to work at the Nashville Palace, so that’s why it all kind of ties in, so it’s pretty cool. I’m about to maybe have a cocktail in a little bit and play some Randy Travis.”
The CMT Artists of the Year special is set for Wednesday (October 13), airing from Nashville's Schermerhorn Symphony Center at 9 p.m. on CMT. Other honorees include Chris Stapleton, Gabby Barrett, Kane Brown, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs and Breakout Artist of the Year, Mickey Guyton. See the other artists slated to perform here.
