Fresh off a win as the world’s leading all-inclusive resort, Sandals Royal Bahamian Spa Resort & Offshore Island is set to host a series of music events December 8-11 that could reach an audience of 200 million listeners. 

It will be the second time that a Sandals resort was selected as the stage for Story Behind the Songs, an event that includes interviews and live beachside performances by Grammy-nominated and ACM Award-winning chart-toppers, Eli Young Band, and breakout singer/songwriter, Tucker Beathard. Award-winning CMT Radio personality Cody Alan will host the event in partnership with Big Machine Label Group as guests enjoy intimate beachside performances and hear about inspiration behind the music and memories from the road. Fans will also have a chance to meet both artists and attend the VIP LIV+ Official Wrap Party.

Part of Sandals Resorts International’s new LIV+ Events program, a series of exclusive events to enhance guests’ Luxury Included® Vacation experience, Story Behind the Songs is an intimate concert series that showcases acoustic sets from top artists. Proceeds from the initiative continue to aid the Sandals Foundation in its efforts to improve lives in the Caribbean, and with the holiday season around the corner, Story Behind The Song has committed this event to the Foundation’s Holiday Treat efforts which will benefit children most impacted by Hurricane Matthew.

The first 25 couples to book their trip to Story Behind the Songs at Sandals Royal Bahamian won the exclusive opportunity to purchase a special VIP LIV+ Package that includes preferred seating, access to the VIP meet and greet, limited edition event t-shirt and more.

About Tucker Beathard: Growing up in a family that excelled at both music and sports — his father is a hit songwriter; his brothers, star quarterbacks — Big Machine Label Group recording artist Tucker Beathard has an unrelenting competitive spirit: He wakes up every day trying to write the perfect song. Beathard’s determination is unwavering as he continues to drive his "meteoric rise" (MSN/Wonderwall) with the release of his FIGHT LIKE HELL EP, available now, that also includes his debut breakout single "Rock On. Beathard co-wrote every track on the EP, and played both lead guitar and drums on the release that showcases his diversity and depth as a musician. Billboard calls attention to the "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.” Taken from the EP, Beathard recently released the defiant and electrifying "Momma And Jesus" as his second single to country radio. Co-written with Deric Ruttan and Jonathan Singleton, Beathard plays a stand-out guitar riff on the track that is influenced by his instinctive drumming ability. Beathard kicked off his first-ever headlining ROCK ON COLLEGE TOUR this month, continuing a stint that will see him etch closer to almost 200 performances slated for this year. Joined by special guest Aubrie Sellers, and with a family history steeped in football, the string of dates will hit “Big Ten Conference” towns. Beathard will also return to Europe for the second time this year, for headlining dates beginning in Dublin, IE on 12/3.
