 - AVAILABLE TO RADIO TODAY

Beathard Kicked Off His ROCK ON COLLEGE TOUR This Past Weekend

Capped Off With An Electrifying Performance at Joe’s Live in Rosemont, IL

Nashville, TN - Oct. 18, 2016- Breakout singer/songwriter Tucker Beathard releases the defiant and electrifying "Momma And Jesus" as his second single to country radio today.   Co-written with Deric Ruttan and Jonathan Singleton, Beathard plays a stand-out guitar riff on the track that is influenced by his instinctive drumming ability.  With a  "nod to his wayward ways” (Rolling Stone) the lyrics write the narrative of Beathard’s childhood and his penchant to push boundaries and break rules, all in the name of a good time.

Already garnering attention as a standout release, Billboard spotlighted "Momma And Jesus" as “the hallmark of an introspective writer: thoughtful, different,” heralding the lyrical content, that those with even the slightest rebellious streak can identify.  The track is available on Beathard’s recently released FIGHT LIKE HELL EP.

“I started playing drums when I was about two or three years old and with this song it’s like playing percussion but on my guitar," said Beathard. 

 “In a lot of ways I was a typical teenager, getting into trouble and doing things I shouldn’t, and I definitely pushed things a little too far a time or two.  

My mom raised and is still raising five kids, and it takes a strong woman to steer us all in the right direction. 

I have so much respect for the job she’s done.   I know at some point she probably wanted to ship me off to military school or something, but she stuck with me!”

Making an impression as "the new country voice that is stopping fans in their tracks" (RARE) and furthering his "meteoric rise" 
(MSN/Wonderwall) Beathard kicked off his first-ever headlining ROCK ON COLLEGE TOUR this past weekend, continuing a stint that will see Beathard etch closer to almost 200 performances slated for this year.  Joined by special guest Aubrie Sellers, and with a family history steeped in football, the string of dates will hit “Big Ten Conference” towns.  Beathard will also return to Europe for the second time this year, for headlining dates beginning in Dublin, IE on 12/3.
