Warner Music Nashville’s Tucker Beathard knows all too well the dangerous allure of a toxic relationship. His new song “Open Flame”(LISTEN HERE) explores what happens when two “paper hearts” get too close to the fire. Beathard penned the brooding, mid-tempo tune alongside Jeff Middleton and Brandon Hood. 

“I actually wrote this song about a specific girl I dated years ago who lived in Michigan,” Beathard shared. “Our whole relationship kind of started and grew around the thrill of how toxic we were. That’s really all we knew. So, when we broke up, there really weren’t any hard feelings or burned bridges. We knew we were bad for each other, but also knew we were each other’s favorite sin we couldn’t resist. Then, a little over a year ago, I saw I had a show coming up in Michigan, and knew it was like playing with fire, because we’d both have a tough time staying away from each other. So that’s where my head was when this was written.”

“Open Flame” follows tongue-in-cheek jam “Cheap Shots(LISTEN HERE) and introspective track “Who I Am With You”(LISTEN HERE). In addition to his own releases, the talented songwriter has earned recent recognition from some of the genre’s quickest-rising young artists. Emerging superstar Bailey Zimmerman cut “You Don’t Want That Smoke” (Tucker Beathard, Jimi Bell) on his record-breaking debut Religiously. The Album. Meanwhile, Kameron Marlowe’s “Over Now” (Tucker Beathard, Jake Mitchell) is currently featured on Spotify’s Hot Country playlist.

Beathard immediately garnered attention as “a country breakout” (Entertainment Weekly) with his Top 5 breakout anthem “Rock On.” He has toured relentlessly, including performances at major festivals such as Lollapalooza, Bonnaroo, Austin City Limits Festival, Stagecoach and Faster Horses Festival – sometimes playing upwards of 200 shows a year. His debut record Nobody’s Everything was praised as a vulnerable collection that brings “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” (Billboard). He followed Nobody’s Everything with KING, intended as the second half of a 20-plus song opus and dedicated to his late brother. KING earned acclaim from critics, with American Songwriter declaring that it “catapults Beathard toward legendary status as a songwriter, as an artist and as a person that continues to evolve with every note.” Citing influences ranging from Blink 182 and Kings of Leon to Led Zeppelin and AC/DC, Beathard’s homegrown sound is turning heads.
