Jordan Davis on why it’s important for male country artists to take women on tour
“I know for a fact that when people hear these songs, they are going to say they’re amazing,” says Davis. “That’s the thought, and letting the music speak after that.”and was written with her, Nicolle Galyon, Ross Copperman, and Emily Weisband. We spoke to Davis, who is currently working on the follow-up to his debut LP,, about why it was so important for him to bring women on the road, and what further the men of country could be doing to work toward more equitable representation.
First and foremost, it’s the music that grabs me. Even going back to the White Wine and Whiskey Tour, I had played rounds with Jillian [Jacqueline] before and was just blown away by how talented she is. So when it came time to put that tour together, that’s just who I was listening to, and I saw the connection she was making. I really see [gender imbalance] as a problem in Nashville, and it’s better, rather than me just talking or giving a quote about it, to actually do something.
Amazing. The audience was showing up early for her. With Trouble Town, we’ll also bring Hailey and Kassi out again during my set to do a song — another way to get them out and show how talented they are. Not everyone comes early to a show, so it’s a way when even if you don’t catch their opening set, you can see them halfway through mine.I hope it’s more stuff like this. With radio, I don’t really have an answer, because it’s out of my control.
Luke Bryan, Thomas Rhett, Florida Georgia Line, and Rascal Flatts are just some of the male artists who took zero women on the road this summer and/or fall.Absolutely. It was so huge for me on my early tours. Chase Rice took me out and it was huge in jumpstarting my career. I think a lot of other artists should think that way: “How do I pay it forward and help somebody else out?” I really hope I am doing that. It’s not like women aren’t making amazing music: the music is unreal.
