BeatinPath

Band on the Run

About Me


Originally from New Orleans, now based in Nashville due to Hurricane Katrina, Beatin Path is an instant fix. Engaging lyrics together with great hooks unmistakably place this band head and shoulders above many recent vacuous pop and yes, even recent vacuous pseudo-country acts as well.

Beatin Path’s sound is rife with influences you will recognize but you won’t quite be able to pinpoint. They brilliantly meld their idiosyncratic lyrics with wonderful melodies (Elvis Costello, at his most accessible, comes to mind). The music is eminently listenable and the lyrics are richly complex at the same time—a talent not gone unnoticed as they have been tapped to open for bands the likes of Cowboymouth, The Meters, Better than Ezra and The Gourds.
