Tucker Wetmore Talks "Wind Up Missing You," Blondes vs. Brunettes, & Debut Album 'What Not To'

It’s been a wild 18 months for Tucker Wetmore, a former college football star turned country hopeful who moved to Nashville hoping to make it… and then he actually did, and in a big, big way, to the tune of roughly eight million monthly Spotify listeners. Before last year he’d never even played live, and how he’s hitting the road with Thomas Rhett. The 25-year-old joins us in the studio for the first time to fill us in on how a small-town, Pacific-Northwest-born, grandson of a pastor wound up turning from sports to music (it involves a leg broken in three places), and how writing songs almost every day from 2019 to 2024 finally paid off. We also find out the meaning of “looking like wine in a truckbed,” why whiskey and women (blonde or brunette, 5’5”) remain abiding sources of inspiration, collaborating with his friends, and the story behind the vulnerable title track from his debut LP What Not To. Plus we tackle the big question about hats and whether Zach should grow a mullet.SUBSCRIBE to Our Podcast ►►https://tinyurl.com/48yfe4v5SUBSCRIBE to YT ►►https://tinyurl.com/5n8km55uSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
