Thomas Rhett is nominated for Entertainer, Male Artist, Album (for Center Point Road) and Video (for “Remember You Young”) of the Year at this week’s ACM Awards. Jon Pardi is nominated for Album of the Year (for Heartache Medication). They will also be performing on the show. As for what they’ll be singing, Thomas says, “So, me and Jon Pardi have yet to play ‘Beer Can’t Fix’ on national television, so me and Jon are gonna link up and play ‘Beer Can’t Fix’ together.”
Even though they’ve only ever performed the song together one other time, at last year’s CMA Music Fest, Thomas says, “I think we’re just gonna go in and rehearse for an hour or so, and then try to just get out there and do it. That’s kinda me and Jon’s style, too. We don’t really practice much together. It’s just kind of like whatever happens ends up happening.”
Thomas just celebrated “Be A Light” becoming his 16th #1 song of his career, and he’s excited to perform his 15th #1 song, “Beer Can’t Fix” with Jon Pardi, because it means getting a chance to hang out with his buddy, but also because Thomas reveals, “Jon brought a little choreography bit so, we might be dancin’ up there. It might be really fun.” Jon is currently climbing the charts with his latest single “Ain’t Always The Cowboy” in the Top 20 this week.
You can listen for all of those songs on Bloomington-Normal’s #1 Country, B104.
The ACM Awards will air live for the first time from Nashville, hosted by Keith Urban, this Wednesday night, September 16th, at 8 PM ET/7 PM CT on CBS.
