Country singer-songwriter Tucker Wetmore has had an extremely promising career launch thanks to a pair of songs that appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 and rose into the top 20 on Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart. His breakthrough hit “Wine into Whiskey” marked Wetmore’s debut Hot 100 single, and he swiftly followed with “Wind Up Missin’ You.”
Now Wetmore, who is signed to UMG Nashville in partnership with Back Blocks Music, is bringing those potent hits — and more — to his first headlining tour, the Waves on a Sunset Tour, a 16-show trek that launches Oct. 4 in Statesboro, Ga. Supporting Wetmore will be Hannah McFarland, Eli Winders and Ashland Craft.
Wetmore, who was featured as Billboard‘s Country Rookie of the Month for May, said in a statement, “I am so excited to be going on my first headline tour! Thank you to my fans and listeners for making this possible. This has been a dream come true of mine for so long. So excited to bring out some of my friends, Hannah McFarland, Eli Winders and Ashland Craft, on the road with me. God is good!”
In addition to his double-shot of hits, Wetmore also contributed music to the soundtrack to the movie Twisters, including the song “Already Had It” and the Conner Smith collaboration “Steal My Thunder.”
In addition to his own headlining shows, he’s set to join Luke Bryan’s Farm Tour 2024 and will open select dates for Jason Aldean, Jordan Davis, Jelly Roll and Dustin Lynch.
Wetmore is also working on his upcoming album, previously telling Billboard, “I’ve been working on songs for three or four years. The project is going to be all over the place when it comes to ideas — some cool country-type stuff, some that are more of an 808s-type of vibe. And there’s one song I’m definitely playing a little piano on, too. ‘Wine Into Whiskey’ did what it did, and it was really cool, but I don’t want it to just be a moment; I want to use the momentum to build something great.”
