Tucker Beathard isn’t new to Nashville! His dad is Casey Beathard who wrote “No Shoes” and “Don’t Blink” for Kenny Chesney as well as “Homeboy” for Eric Church. What you may not know is that Tucker was the inspiration for “Homeboy.” He tells People, “My dad wrote the song. They kind of farfetched the title, but I definitely was the inspiration behind it. I’ve always been rebellious and just wanting to do my own thing. I was lost and trying to find myself and figure out some stuff. There was a lot of internal stuff that was going on with me, and just feelings that I just couldn’t really ever express.” Here are some other thing you should know about Tucker:

1- Tucker would rather sing his own songs than covers. He says, “I’m trying to build my own foundation and figure out what works and what doesn’t. It’s just a lot more rewarding seeing somebody dig your stuff, instead of saying, ‘Yeah, I love your cover of whatever.’ Because anybody can do a cover song.”

2- Dierks Bentley invited Tucker out on his tour this summer.

3- Tucker has 6 tattoos and tried to give himself one at 15. It didn’t works so well, you can read more about it here. As well as other fun Tucker factoid. This is his new single, “Rock On.”
