Casey Beathard

Casey Beathard Moved to Nashville in 1991 after graduating from Elon College (NC) & playing the Northern Va. Bars long enough to know music was all he wanted to do.  He chose music over “the family business” of football. His father is in Canton’s Pro Football Hall Of Fame as a multiple Super Bowl champion former GM of the Dolphins , Redskins & San Diego Chargers. His brothers are a coach & scout @ the Pro & college levels. He also has an oldest son (CJ) playing QB in The NFL “Mom’s love for music , playing piano & singing, got ahold of me early in life”, says Casey. “I learned to best express myself by writing notes & stories to those I had something to say to”.  He later in life combined making music with his story telling & next thing ya know Nashville called his heart like it does all country music artists.  Beathard worked 2 jobs a day, The Country music Hall of fame by day & The blue bird cafe by night.  Talk about a learning experience, these jobs were very instrumental in the networking process.  Casey became a demo singer & then a recording artist on Capitol records for a short time. Having kids & beginning to get recordings of songs he wrote made it easy to decide to just write songs.  Beathard was BMI & NSAI Songwriter of the year in both ’04 & ’08.  He has written songs for Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Tim McGraw, Eric Church, Trace Adkins, Rodney Atkins , Leanne Wommack, Tracy Lawrence, Tracy Byrd, Chris Stapelton, Garth Brooks, Billy Ray Cyrus, Billy Currington, Justin Moore, (his son) Tucker Beathard & more.  He has over 20 top 10 records including 12 #1 records. He won a Grammy for the Christian hit “There Was Jesus” by Zach Williams & Dolly Parton and has been nominated for 2 other Grammys, 1 ACM Song of The Year & CMA Song of The Year.
