Tucker Wetmore Announces Debut Album What Not To, Set for April 25 Release
Emerging country star Tucker Wetmore is making a bold statement with his debut album, What Not To, set to release on April 25. The rising artist, whose name has quickly become synonymous with heartfelt storytelling and infectious melodies, is preparing to showcase his most personal work yet—a sprawling 19-track collection that encapsulates the lessons, highs, and lows of his 25-year journey. Each song promises to paint a vivid picture of his experiences, reflecting both the triumphs and the heartbreaks that have shaped his music and his life.
The announcement of What Not To comes on the heels of Wetmore’s highly anticipated Ryman Auditorium headline debut, scheduled for May 21. During Universal Music Group Nashville’s prestigious Country Radio Seminar showcase, Wetmore took to the legendary Ryman stage to unveil his debut album plans, signaling a major milestone in his rapidly ascending career. Performing for an audience filled with industry professionals, fellow artists, and media representatives, Wetmore exuded confidence as he shared his excitement about this new chapter.
A First Taste: “3,2,1”
To give fans a glimpse into the upcoming album, Wetmore has released its lead single, “3,2,1,” available everywhere now. The track, which officially goes to country radio on March 10, follows the massive success of his No. 1 debut single, “Wind Up Missin’ You.”
Written by Josh Miller, Summer Overstreet, and Jordan Reynolds, “3,2,1” is a hook-laden anthem of regret and missed chances. With clever wordplay and a melody primed for singalongs, the song tells a familiar yet poignant story: “three words, two late, damn girl you’re the one that got away.” The song's emotive lyrics and polished production are expected to resonate with country music fans who appreciate the genre's signature blend of nostalgia and storytelling.
Wetmore's journey to this moment has been anything but ordinary. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, he initially pursued a career in athletics before finding his true passion in country music. His background, which includes years of dedication to sports, has instilled in him a work ethic that has translated seamlessly into his approach to music. Since making the transition, Wetmore has quickly gained traction, building a loyal fan base drawn to his authenticity and knack for crafting compelling narratives.
Beyond the release of What Not To, Wetmore's upcoming headlining show at the Ryman Auditorium is another testament to his rising star power. Often referred to as the "Mother Church of Country Music," the venue has hosted some of the genre's most legendary artists. For Wetmore, stepping onto that iconic stage as a headliner is not only a dream come true but also a significant career milestone. Fans can expect a dynamic performance that blends his signature energy with the raw emotion of his latest material.
As Wetmore steps into this exciting new chapter, What Not To is poised to further solidify his place in the modern country landscape. With an album that promises raw emotion, relatable themes, and undeniable hooks, Tucker Wetmore is proving he’s not just a newcomer—he’s a force to be reckoned with. His ability to blend traditional country influences with a contemporary edge sets him apart, and if early reactions to his latest single are any indication, What Not To is bound to make a lasting impact on the genre. Whether through his poignant lyricism or his compelling stage presence, Wetmore is well on his way to carving out a name for himself among country music's next generation of stars.
