Last week, Wetmore hit a career milestone with his first-ever major country award show nomination for ACM New Male Artist of the Year and is the only male nominee in the category without a debut album currently out. Proving his unstoppable momentum, he also dropped one final preview of What Not To with the sleek, neon-lit track “Casino,” out now. After notching his first No.1 on Country radio with “Wind Up Missin’ You” earlier this year, his follow-up single “3,2,1” is spinning on Country airwaves now.
PRE-ORDER/PRE-SAVE WHAT NOT TO
The artist to watch from Spotify, VEVO, Billboard, MusicRow and Grand Ole Opry has been bringing his dynamic live show overseas. Fresh off a high-energy run across Europe at Country 2 Country (C2C), he played to sold-out crowds across the pond, including a stop at London’s Electric Ballroom. He’s also keeping the momentum rolling with his extended WAVES ON A SUNSET TOUR 2025, running through May, before joining Thomas Rhett’s BETTER IN BOOTS TOUR 2025 as direct support across 33 dates this summer.
In just one year, Wetmore has skyrocketed from a newcomer to a chart-topping sensation. Fueled by his back-to-back Billboard Hot 100 hits “Wine Into Whiskey” and “Wind Up Missin’ You,” a debut EP and over 855M total global streams, Wetmore is “just a heartbeat away from a household hit” (Country Central). He also earned an iHeartRadio Music Awards nomination for Best New Country Artist and made his national television debut on NBC’s TODAY with Jenna & Friends (WATCH).
With new music and a packed festival schedule, including an album release during Stagecoach Music Festival, Wetmore is just getting started. For updates, tour dates and announcements, keep up with Wetmore on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and his website at tuckerwetmore.com.

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.
