ROCK ON, WITH TUCKER BEATHARD Though just twenty-one, Tucker Beathard writes, sings, and plays with self-assurance, self-taught skill, and singular talent: qualities that led Rolling Stone and Taste of Country to flag him up as an artist to watch in 2016.
Tucker Beathard’s brilliant debut single ‘Rock On’ (UK release date: 27th April 2016) showcases all these strengths, as will his forthcoming US & international tour with Dierks Bentley (reaching the U.K. 23rd – 24th April). Listen to ‘Rock On’ and you’ll hear its instant impact, thanks to Tucker’s distinctive voice, his rhythmic skill as a guitarist and drummer; also his uncompromising honesty and originality as a songwriter. Starting with a strong melodic hook, the song swells into a full gritty rock-country sound, whilst the lyrics bear witness to Tucker’s keen talent for meaning, depth, and wordplay. The ‘Rock’ of the title isn’t Rock Music, as you might expect: the song is about failing to put an engagement or wedding ring on a girl who got away.
“I’ve always been a huge fan of deep songs,” said Tucker, “and I’ve always liked poems. I’m an introvert, but writing songs that go beneath the surface allows me to open up a piece of myself.” Perhaps it’s not surprising that Tucker Beathard is strong in all aspects of his craft. Son of award-winning Country songwriter Casey Beathard.
