Jordan Davis grew up in Louisiana so he knows all about Mardi Gras.<\/p>\n
His advice is to \u201cpace yourself\u201d because it\u2019s a month-long event.<\/p>\n
He has a lot of great memories of the festivities around his hometown.<\/p>\n
“I mean, Mardi Gras growing up for me, that was like Christmas. We had just as much fun at Mardi Gras as we did come Christmas time. In Shreveport, the parade came right down my street. So, I remember my dad building a, on top of a ladder, he built a platform for me and my brother to sit up there and we were 12 feet above everybody, and we just had a bullseye. If you have a bullseye at a Mardi Gras parade, you are going to load up on beads. So, we had, every year we would come home with Moon Pies and beads and cups and everything under the sun. Mardi Gras is a special, it\u2019s a special holiday for us, and we\u2019re going to definitely eat our fair share of King Cake.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Last week, Jordan released a new album called\u00a0Bluebird Days<\/em>.<\/p>\n
