I hate the Young, Talented and Handsome — since none of those apply to me.

Let me please savor my bitterness!

In the meantime, consider Tucker Beathard, a precociously promising 20-year-old country singer-songwriter who performs a free show tonight in the Mohegan Sun Wolf Den. Yes, his father, Casey Beathard, is also a tunesmith who's penned songs for Trace Adkins, Eric Church, Darius Rucker, Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, George Strait and many more.

But we only mention the Old Man because Tucker seems to have inherited the genetics required to be competitive in Nashville. He's working on his debut album and has been road-testing material on tours with Miranda Lambert, Keith Urban and Church. See him now and get on his literal bandwagon early.

Tucker Beathard, 8 tonight, Mohegan Sun Wolf Den; free; 1-888-664-3426.
