Restless Road

Restless Road is a Nashville-based country music trio celebrated for their rich harmonies and emotionally resonant storytelling. The group comprises Zach Beeken, Colton Pack, and Garrett Nichols, each bringing distinct vocal strengths that blend seamlessly into a cohesive sound, combining traditional country elements with contemporary pop influences.

The band's journey began in 2013 during the third season of "The X Factor." Beeken and Pack auditioned as solo artists but were eliminated before the Top 40. Recognizing their potential, judge Simon Cowell invited them back to form a group with fellow contestant Andrew Scholz, resulting in the creation of Restless Road. The newly formed trio finished fourth in the competition.

Post-"X Factor," the band underwent several lineup changes. In 2014, Pack departed and was replaced by Jared Keim. The following year, Scholz left to pursue a solo career, leading to the addition of Garrett Nichols, a former "American Idol" contestant. In 2018, Keim departed, and Pack returned, solidifying the current lineup of Beeken, Pack, and Nichols.

The trio found renewed momentum in 2019 when country star Kane Brown, whom they had met during "The X Factor," reached out to Pack after seeing his cover of Brown's "Good as You." Brown, developing new acts under his label imprint, offered Restless Road a record deal. This collaboration led to the release of their debut EP in 2020, featuring the track "Take Me Home," a reimagining of John Denver's classic, which they performed with Brown on NBC's "TODAY" show.

In 2023, Restless Road released their debut studio album, Last Rodeo, under RCA Nashville. The trio has also co-written songs for artists such as Rascal Flatts, Granger Smith, David James, and Kane Brown.

Restless Road's harmonious blend and authentic storytelling have garnered praise from outlets like People, Billboard, and Taste of Country magazines. They have amassed over 300 million career streams and a substantial social media following. In 2022, they were recognized by Spotify as Hot Country Artists to Watch and named an Opry Artist to Watch. The group has performed at notable events, including Stagecoach and the CMA Music Festival, and on "The Bachelor," and has toured internationally, expanding their global fanbase.
