Joyland continues its tradition of booking rising, mainstream Nashville stars with a concert Saturday by singer-songwriter Jon Pardi, who scored his first country Top 10 single last year with “Up All Night.” Included on his debut album, the 2014 release “Write You a Song,” it's bro-country all the way: a catchy ditty with a slick mix of rock and twang sonics propelling a lyric about partying and finding romance off a dirt road following a long, hard day at work. Concertgoers will also likely recognize Pardi's other popular singles, "Missin' You Crazy" and ""What I Can't Put Down."
7 p.m. Saturday; Joyland, 5520 14th St. W., Bradenton; $10 (advance), $15 (day of show); 756-6060; joylandcountry.com
