Jordan Davis: The Louisiana Native Gives Mardi Gras Advice
Jordan Davis sits on the top of the country charts this week with his latest single “Take It From Me.” Plus, it’s Mardi Gras; so, for him, the week couldn’t be better.
The Louisiana native recently served as the Grand Marshal for the Krewe of Centaur parade in February. Plus, he’s experienced Mardi Gras pretty much every year of his life. So, he’s got a lot of advice for those attending for the first time.
“My main piece of advice is everybody needs to experience New Orleans at least once,” says Jordan. “Another piece is: just pace yourself. It is pretty much a month-long party, so just pace yourself, try to stay hydrated — [drink something] that’s not alcohol — have a blast and catch a bunch of beads. Get a sign – that’s another piece of advice. If you’re really going after beads, get something that catches their eyes. Also, when it comes to making signs, best advice, make it a hoop, ‘cause if you have somebody on a float, if they have something to throw at, you’re gonna get a ton more beads.”
Jordan is nominated for New Male Artist of the Year at next month’s ACM Awards, which will air live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas April 7th at 8 pm ET on CBS.
