Background and release
After signing with Dot Records and releasing his first EP, The Demos Vol. 1, in late 2015, Beathard gained a following at dive-bars across the east coast of the United States.
In November 2015, Beathard posted three more demos on his YouTube Channel: "Ride On", "God and My Guitar", and the fan favorite, "Faithful". These demos gained Beathard national attention and led to him opening for Maddie and Tae and Dierks Bentley's on their 2016 tours.[4] [5]
After wrapping up touring with Dierks Bentley on his Somewhere on a Beach Tour in the fall of 2016, on September 7, 2016 Beathard officially announced he would be releasing his debut EP, Fight Like Hell, one month later on October 7, 2016.[6]
The EP spawned two singles, including Beathard's highest-charting single to date, "Rock On", which peaked at No. 2 on Country Airplay on October 22, 2016.[7][8]
The second single, "Momma and Jesus", reached No. 43 on Country Airplay on April 1, 2017.[3]
Fight Like Hell debuted at No. 14 on the country albums chart and sold 3,900 copies in its first week of release.[9]
