NASHVILLE, TN – Mar. 26, 2025 – BMI welcomed the music industry and UMG Nashville/EMI Nashville breakout artist Tucker Wetmore into its lobby on Tuesday (3/25) to celebrate his debut chart-topper and PLATINUM-certified single “Wind Up Missin’ You.” The celebration reunited Wetmore with co-writer Thomas Archer (BMI) and co-writer/producer Chris LaCorte (SESAC), as the group commemorated Archer’s fifth and LaCorte’s third No. One. Showcasing Wetmore’s ability to blend contemporary edge with storytelling, “Wind Up Missin’ You” follows the release of his new single, “Casino,” out this Friday and his debut album, What Not To, available April 25.
Hosted by BMI and SESAC and emceed by BMI’s Leslie Roberts, Wetmore was presented with a custom Taylor 210e DLX guitar in honor of his first No. One as a BMI songwriter. Sponsored by Studio Bank, Ron Cox made a special donation presentation on behalf of the songwriters in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, which leads the way the world understands, treats and defeats childhood cancer and other life-threatening diseases. Wetmore will return to BMI this summer for BMI’s invitation-only Rooftop On The Row series with Tanner Adell on July 15.
ABOUT TUCKER WETMORE:
Having notched back-to-back spots on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart with his RIAA PLATINUM-certified debut singles “Wine Into Whiskey” and “Wind Up Missin’ You” and surpassing over 855 million streams in less than a year, Washington-born singer-songwriter Tucker Wetmore is well on the way to becoming a certified breakout country star. Wetmore signed a major-label record deal last summer with UMG Nashville in partnership with Back Blocks Music, had two songs featured on the star-studded Twisters soundtrack (“Already Had It” and “Steal My Thunder” (with Conner Smith), made his Grand Ole Opry debut and delivered his first EP, Waves on a Sunset. He brought his music directly to fans on tour with Kameron Marlowe and Luke Bryan before selling out his first-ever headlining tour WAVES ON A SUNSET TOUR 2024. Now, in 2025, the skyrocketing talent will extend his headlining efforts with dates in the UK, US and Europe before joining Thomas Rhett’s BETTER IN BOOTS TOUR 2025 as direct support. Wetmore will continue releasing new music, with songs that reflect his cross-genre musical upbringing, embracing all manners of country, reggae, rock and hip-hop, albeit anchored by classic country storytelling. Wetmore enters 2025 as One to Watch by Billboard, MusicRow, VEVO, Spotify, the Grand Ole Opry and more, with his debut single “Wind Up Missin’ You” already earning him his first No.1 on the Mediabase Country chart.
