A local with lofty aspirations, Carter Beckworth is picking up momentum as he expands on his Texas country roots by incorporating electric and R&B elements, something you can check out at two upcoming Austin shows. Carter is a proven songwriter that has just completed touring with Cory Morrow, with whom Beckworth co-wrote six new songs off Morrow’s new album The Good Fight. Gearing up for his fourth full album release, Beckworth applies his deft songwriting to genre-bending arrangements, which are on full-display with songs like “Between Now And Then,” which you can check out below. While Beckworth’s songwriting has earned him the ability to share the stage with some of country’s biggest names, his solo album has allowed him to set his very own, very interesting musical course, and it’s also made him one of the city’s to-watch country artists. Take a listen yourself at his March 24 show at Saxon Pub, or a day later on March 25 at The Scoot Inn with Reckless Kelly.
