Country music singer-songwriter Jordan Davis remembers how fun Easter was as a child growing up. However, the clothes that his mom had them wear were not something he remembers fondly.
“We would always have the Easter Egg Hunt before church. You know, my mom, she would dress us in these ridiculous, pastel-colored, gosh, good Lord, I’m sorry for saying this, but the worst part about Easter for me is some of the photos I have of what my mom dressed us in. It was hideous! But yeah, that was it growing up. We would have our Easter Egg Hunt, and I think for me early on, and probably like a lot of kids, Easter was another Sunday where it was a very mini, mini Christmas. We’d get some candy, every once in a while, we’d get a present, something that we wanted, we’d go to church, and everybody looked great. It was like the day to wear the new dress or the guys had these crazy ties on or something like that.”
Jordan says he was well into his teens when he finally started realizing the true meaning of the Easter holiday.
“It really wasn’t until, I think, I was able to kinda hit my high school years and kind of start to strengthen my faith that I realized how special that holiday was.”
It sounds like Jordan’s childhood Easter outfits could be a part of his latest single “Almost Maybes.” Listen for that single on Bloomington-Normal’s #1 Country, B104.
