at just 20 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 and a recording contract with dot records. now he is beginning to carve a path for his own unique and unapologetic sound with lyrics like "hell no i don't mind turning heads; hell yeah i'll get by living on the edge; our point of views may never meet; i don't wanna be you, yeah i know me." beathard is working on his debut album and is already booked for shows this summer with superstars dierks bentley, eric church, miranda lambert and keith urban.
