Nashville, TN (PR) --- A gifted singer/songwriter, and self-professed “car freak,” Tucker has released a new single from his debut EP #Country. The inspiring new tune is “What I Can Change.”

Tucker is a multi-instrumentalist and a prolific songwriter who’s played and toured with Eric Durrance on the Jason Aldean (2008 CMT Tour), Jimmy Wayne, James Otto, Ashley Cleveland, Guy Penrod, Rick Derringer, Michael Peterson and more.

“My start in Nashville was with Eric Durrance. I became friends with Josh Gentry, whose dad is Teddy Gentry [of the iconic band, Alabama] and it was Teddy who had me come audition for the gig with Eric,” Tucker says. “We worked with Teddy for weeks to prepare for the 2008 CMT Tour. Working with Teddy Gentry and being a part of such an amazing tour was a huge highlight in my career, and a tremendous learning opportunity.”

“What I Can Change” is a sincere message about having a positive impact, about making the little decisions that make a big difference. It’s about spending less time on the phone, more time saying ‘I love you’ and letting go of the things we cannot control.

Although he’s been a highly sought after musician for some of the busiest artists on the road, every one of those artists have urged Tucker to record his own solo project. The thoughtful artist took his time … to learn the business, write, and develop his own sound. He cut demos, performed in and around Nashville, and continued to enhance the sound of other big names … until the time was right.

With his cleverly titled debut EP, #Country, Tucker introduced himself to Country music fans.

The project is inspired by real life situations and real people with songs based on the stories Tucker has lived and seen in the lives of those close to him. He believes in the truth and enjoys gathering stories from his own experience or situations he’s witnessed and setting them to music with lyrics that are honest, inspiring and real … songs that listeners connect with. He is most prolific when life has him spinning. It is when life is at its most demanding that the words come … often several songs at a time … perhaps in some subconscious effort to make sense of the wonderful chaos that is life and love and relationships.

When he’s not indulging his love of music, Tucker indulges his passion for cars; American “muscle cars,” street rods and more. “I’m a car freak. It’s something I shared with my dad, and plan to share with my own sons,” Tucker says. He enjoys car shows and just about every car-related reality show on TV. Tucker is currently restoring a 1968 Chevy Camaro.

“I believe in all of the songs on the project,” Tucker says, “but there’s something really special about ‘What I Can Change’ and it just seemed like the right time for this message.”
