TUCKER WETMORE LANDS AT UMG NASHVILLE

Tucker Wetmore’s got a new label home. The rising country star has inked a deal with UMG Nashville in partnership with Back Blocks Music.

With three back-to-back chart-climbing tracks—“Wine Into Whiskey,” “Wind Up Missin’ You” and “What Would You Do?”—Wetmore is approaching 200m career streams out of the gate. “Wind Up Missin’ You” will hit Country radio on 6/10 via EMI Records Nashville.

“With the fire that has already been started, I couldn’t pick better people to pour gasoline on it. I couldn’t be more excited and confident about this next chapter in my career. I love you all. Thank you for continuing to make my dreams come true,” said Wetmore.

“I’m honored to continue working with Tucker as he expands his team with the brilliant minds at UMG," said Back Blocks Music CEO/founder Rakiyah Marshall. "What Tucker and our Back Blocks team have built together in less than three years has been incredible, but it’s just the beginning.”

“The world has only seen a glimpse of what Tucker is going to do for country music,” added UMG Nashville Chair/CEO Cindy Mabe. “UMG Nashville is so honored to work with Tucker, Rakiyah and Back Blocks Music in building the next era of country music history.”

Currently on his own headlining run, Wetmore recently supported Kameron Marlowe on the Strangers Tour and will play festivals this summer, including CMA Fest showcases at Spotify House and the UMG Nashville Takeover. He will also join Luke Bryan’s FARM TOUR 2024 in September and will have two tracks, “Already Had It” and “Steal My Thunder” w/Conner Smith, featured on the soundtrack to Twisters, which arrives in theaters July 19.

Wetmore is managed by Back Blocks Music and repped by WME for global booking.
