Career

Beaver's first album, Under the Neons, was released on February 27, 2008.[3] The album spawned 3 singles for Texas radio: "I Shoulda Kissed You", "Under the Neons", and "Streets of Austin".

Beaver's second album, Constant, was released February 8, 2011.[3] David Grissom produced the album, with co-write credits for himself, Wade Bowen, Brian Keane, Ben Danaher, and Paul Eason. "For A While", "Hate", and "Nobody Wants to be Alone" were the singles sent to radio respectively. "Hate" became Beaver's highest charting single to date (#2 for 3 weeks) on the Texas Music Chart[4] and earned a "Favorite Song of 2011" nod from galleywinter.com.[5]

Country Weekly described his lyrics as "thoughtful, introspective, and extremely well crafted" in their December 10, 2012 issue.[6]

Beaver's first music video for "How About You" was featured on CMT Pure, CMT.com,[7] Yallwire.com,[8] NoDepression.com among others.
