NASHVILLE, Tenn. (May 31, 2024) – Skyrocketing Country star Tucker Wetmore has inked a major label record deal with UMG Nashville in partnership with Back Blocks Music.

Today I have checked off one of the biggest I set for myself… signing a record deal. My new family at UMG Nashville checked all of my boxes. The drive, dedication, love and respect we all have for each other outside of music is the real reason why I’m so proud to now call them partners, along with my team at Back Blocks Music. With the fire that has already been started, I couldn’t pick better people to pour gasoline on it. I couldn’t be more excited and confident about this next chapter in my career.

ABOUT TUCKER WETMORE:

Singer-songwriter Tucker Wetmore knows his way around a Country song. His own life has unfolded like one, from his small-town childhood in the rural American Northwest to his time playing college football in Montana. When an injury ended his hopes of a professional career, Tucker headed back home to Kalama, Wash. — population: 2,700 — and dusted off his guitar, channeling his feelings into original songs that are rooted in Country storytelling with modern melodies. Less than a year later, he moved to Nashville to begin chasing down his own version of the American Dream, sharpening his writing skills and crafting a unique Country sound.

“We’ve got a little bit of love, a little bit of God, and a little bit of alcohol,” Tucker says of his songs, which blend his baritone vocals with singalong hooks, infectious charisma, and roll-up-your-sleeves determination. A star athlete since childhood, Tucker first learned about perseverance on the playing field. He excelled at a myriad of sports, earning four state championships during his senior year and setting state records. Music provided a source of comfort and clarity throughout the journey, offering answers whenever Tucker found himself at a turning point.

“I started playing piano when I was 11 years old,” the self-taught musician remembers. “Looking back, I realized I was looking for something to help me cope with my emotions. Since then, music has always been my therapy. I see how much it has changed and affected my life, and if I can help at least one other person in a similar way, that would be more than enough for me.”

With magnetic charm and versatile songwriting, Tucker is striving to make a connection, and so far, it’s working. Amassing over 1M followers and tens of millions of views online, Tucker’s dedicated fanbase eagerly anticipates his every move. He’s already notched back-to-back spots on Billboard’s Hot 100 with his debut singles “Wine Into Whiskey” and “Wind Up Missin’ You” as he clocks in nearly 200 million streams in four months. Making his mark on Country radio, he is currently climbing the airplay charts with “Wind Up Missin’ You.” Tucker took his new music to the road for the first time, recently wrapping Kameron Marlowe’s Strangers Tour before he hits the road for Luke Bryan’s FARM TOUR 2024 later this year. From the football field to the stage, he’s always brought dedication and drive to his work… and these days, that work is sounding like a singer-songwriter on the brink of putting himself on the map.
