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, heartbreak and everything in between" 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 millions of views online, Tucker counts more than 500K followers across social platforms, who are eagerly awaiting his debut single “Wine Into Whiskey,” out Feb. 23. Come spring, Tucker will hit the road for the first time, joining Country powerhouse Kameron Marlowe on his Strangers Tour. 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.
