Get to Know Tucker Wetmore in 3.2.1 Apr 24, 2025

Show notes

Tucker Wetmore grew up in a small town in Washington State where he spent his time in church, playing sports, or dodging vampires in the woods (kinda). In this episode, Tucker opens up about finding his voice and the knee injury that led him back to music—and eventually, Nashville. We talk about his debut album What Not To, the story behind the vulnerable title track and the reoccurring themes we found. Oh—and did we mention he's up for his first ACM Award? If you don’t know Tucker yet, you will after this interview.

Plus, Kelly and Amber get ready for a weekend at Stagecoach and all the Country Heat friends they will be hanging out with.
