Carson Beyer’s a name to keep on your radar.​

For those who are unfamiliar with the Kenucky-born and Nashville-based country singer-songwriter, he’s as authentic as they come. He sings and writes from the heart, vulnerably bearing his own lived experiences and life lessons learned in his music.

In 2018, he released his debut single, “Bones”, which has since been streamed an impressive 4M+ times on Spotify. Earlier this year, Carson introduced his new artistic direction with the release of “Next To You”- an upbeat contemporary country love song that has been spun over 156K+ times on Spotify alone. In the months that followed, he released his tracks “Didn’t See Going”, “In The Dust” and “Just Boots”.

On July 19th, he released his latest single, “Grateful Dead”– a nostalgic and vulnerable track about a past romance that marks his fifth release of the year.
