Tucker Beathard

About Tucker Beathard: At just 21 years old, singer-songwriter Tucker Beathard already exudes the confidence and swagger of an established artist. It’s probably because music is in his blood. He started playing drums and guitar in a band with his brothers at 10 years old and had an early immersion into songwriting via his dad, two-time BMI “Songwriter of the Year” Casey Beathard. It was Tucker’s rebellious attitude as a teenager that inspired the lyrics for the chart-topping hit “Homeboy” recorded by Eric Church. Not long after making the decision to forgo a baseball scholarship to focus on music, Beathard signed a publishing deal with Big Machine Music and a recording contract with Big Machine Label Group. Now he is beginning to carve a path for his own unique and unapologetic sound: Tucker recently released his first single “Rock On” on iTunes. Beathard is working on his debut album and will head out on the road with Dierks Bentley this summer, including shows in The UK and Ireland for the first time, having already opened for superstars Eric Church, Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban.
Tara Thompson
