Industry Ink: David Tucker, Rick Lang, ‘THE SONG’

David Tucker Signs With 117 Entertainment

Newcomer country artist David Tucker has signed with 117 Entertainment for publicity and distribution.

Tucker announced plans to releasing new music soon.

“These songs are the stories of my life the past few years. It’s an amazing feeling to finally put them out into the world. I couldn’t be more thankful for the people who helped me bring this vision to life and for all the love and support along the way. I’m fired up for the world to hear this music,” says Tucker.
