\n\tTucker Wetmore is less than 48 hours away from what\u2019s arguably the biggest day of his career.<\/p>\n
\n\tOn Friday, April 25, the 25-year-old singer-songwriter is set to release his debut album What Not To<\/a><\/em>, and just a few hours later, he\u2019ll hit the Stagecoach<\/a> stage for the very first time. \u201cI\u2019ve been waiting and looking forward to dropping my first album for as long as I can remember\u2026 it\u2019s crunch time now,\u201d the country star tells The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tStagecoach<\/a> is just the kick off, though. Wetmore then hits the road alongside N\u00dcTRL<\/a>, which was just announced<\/a> as the official vodka seltzer of Tucker\u2019s Summer Tour<\/a>. The spirit brand sits high on the artist\u2019s list of backstage and festival essentials (the orange flavor is his favorite), along with trail mix (\u201cobviously you\u2019ve gotta have the M&M\u2019s in there\u201d), his Wrangler jeans<\/a> (\u201cI don\u2019t wear anything other than Wrangler\u201d), a pair of boots, a loose button-down and a hat. \u201cI\u2019m a simple dude, I don\u2019t really need much,\u201d he adds. And for Stagecoach, \u201ca bandana<\/a>\u2018s probably going to be necessary because of all the dust.\u201d<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \n\tRelated: <\/strong>Elevated Western Wear for the 2025 Stagecoach Festivalgoer<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\t\t<\/a>\t<\/div> \n\tLike \u201cAustin\u201d singer Dasha<\/a>, who will also be making her Stagecoach debut this weekend, Wetmore\u2019s music<\/a> initially blew up on social media, first with \u201cWine Into Whiskey\u201d and then with \u201cWind Up Missin\u2019 You,\u201d which doubled as his country radio debut single. \u201cI feel like everything happened so fast last year that nobody really got the chance to know me or why I am the way I am,\u201d he explains. \u201cThis is my chance to kind of scratch the surface on a lot of those things and tell my truths.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tFriday\u2019s release contains 19 tracks: \u201cYou know, I had a lot to say, so I couldn\u2019t do it in anything less than [that].\u201d When <\/em>asked his most-loved song of the 19, the singer had trouble picking just one: \u201cAll of them\u2026 they\u2019re all my babies.\u201d However, there are a few that he\u2019s especially excited for fans to hear.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201c\u2018Bad Luck Looks Good on Me\u2019 is probably one of my favorites. That song actually took like eight months to write\u2026 It was just one of those songs that, it wasn\u2019t right, it wasn\u2019t right, and we kept going back and forth and then finally got to a spot where I was like, \u2018This is it, let\u2019s roll with it.’\u201d Other standouts for Wetmore include the album\u2019s title track \u201cWhat Not To\u201d and \u201cWhiskey Again,\u201d both of which dive deeper \u201cinside of who I am and where I come from,\u201d he tells THR<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tWhile the artist\u2019s rise to fame and accompanying schedule has certainly been an adjustment \u2014 one where he isn\u2019t able to see family and friends as much as he\u2019d like to \u2014\u00a0Wetmore can\u2019t help but feel \u201cblessed.\u201d \u201cI wake up with air in my lungs, a roof over my head, a comfy bed and I get to go off and do something that I love every day, and you can\u2019t really put a price on that.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tThe singer\u2019s debut album What Not To<\/a><\/em> is available to preorder now on Amazon<\/a>.
