In recent years, Louisiana-born singer-songwriter Jordan Davis has been making waves in Nashville. After years of working on his craft, he secured a recording contract with Universal Music Group Nashville in 2016, releasing his debut single, “Singles You Up,” a year later. In March 2018, he released his first album, Home State, and a month later, in April, “Singles You Up” hit number one on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.
Though Davis has a few shows through the end of 2019, he just announced his headlining Trouble Town Tour kicking off on January 10, 2020. The 22-date run takes Davis from Milwaukee to Atlanta to Spokane to New York, and features openers Kassi Ashton and Hailey Whitters.
Before Davis announced the country-spanning tour, he stopped by Gear Patrol’s office in New York to share his tour essentials. Whether out for a few engagements or on a multi-month jaunt, his EDC is indispensable. Ranging from an Omega watch to Bose headphones to a pocket knife, the items are both functional and well-made. But he explains it best.

“I was on a writer’s retreat in Palm Springs and found out about these guys. Ordered a knife, loved it and ended up ordering a knife for all the guys that came out on the retreat. It’s lightweight, a great pocket knife, stays sharp, something that has gotten me into a lot of trouble at airports because I totally forget it’s there.”
