It's already been a huge year for our guy Jon Pardi. He and his wife Summer had a baby in February. He launched his tour. And while performing at Stagecoach he got the surprise of his life.

Think of Stagecoach as the country Coachella. It's a multi-day music festival in Indio, California. About 20 miles outside of Palm Springs. It's held at the Empire Polo Club which completely transforms its grounds to host dozens of country artists and thousands of fans every year. This year, Luke Bryan, Kane Brown, and Chris Stapleton headlined the show which was peppered with more incredible artists. See the photos below!

Now back to Jon Pardi. While on stage, Pardi got the shock of his life! Celebrity chef Guy Fieri jumped on stage to praise Pardi's music and commitment. Then, Fieri introduced a video of country music legend Alan Jackson.  The video brought Pardi to tears, in front of thousands in the crowd at Stagecoach.  Jackson invited Pardi to become a member of the Grand Ole Opry!

Here's something cool. The induction makes Jon Pardi the only California native to become a member of the Opry. And the best part (for Pardi) is that it was all done in front of a crowd in his home state of California. Congratulations, Jon Pardi! Watch it happen below!
