Nashville,
TN – Jan. 16, 2017 – Breakout singer/ songwriter Tucker Beathard made
his debut at the Grand Ole Opry this weekend (1/14) with an
impression-making performance. Becoming known for his compelling stage
presence, Beathard walked into the Opry Circle for the first time with
just his guitar and captivated the audience with a reflective, yet fiery
rendition of his new single “Momma And Jesus.” A born songwriter,
Beathard also played a new song for the enamored Opry audience, “18,”
creating an unforgettable moment for the capacity crowd. Beathard’s debut also marked the final one for Opry VP/GM Pete Fisher, after 17 years of welcoming new artists into the circle.
“Growing
up in Nashville, it’s instilled from a young age what an honor playing
the Grand Ole Opry is,” said Beathard. “I started writing songs to put
my emotions out there…the ones that I don’t how to let out any other
way. To be able to express myself on that stage and be part of that
legacy is a blessing and a dream come true.”
Beathard’s
current single “Momma And Jesus” is making waves at country radio and
follows his debut Top 5 summer anthem “Rock On.” Both songs are taken
from Beathard’s recently released FIGHT LIKE HELL EP, which showcases
his self-taught musicianship, with lead guitar and drum credits
throughout the six-track collection. Billboard calls
attention to the “smart pieces from a singular mind, the kind of
material that comes from someone who marches to his own drum and mines
that perspective for his worldview.” Following a breakout 2016, Beathard
continues to make an impression as “the new country voice that is
stopping fans in their tracks” (RARE). Armed with a
relentless touring nature, Beathard undertook almost 200 live
performances last year and is kicking off 2017 on Brantley Gilbert’s The
Devil Don’t Sleep Tour beginning February 2 in Reading, PA. For more
