Waves on a Sunset will be released on October 4th
Tucker Wetmore is keeping his foot on the gas this week as he releases the first taste of new music off his forthcoming October 4th debut EP, Waves on a Sunset, with new track “Silverado Blue,” out now. Also announced, the skyrocketing country artist has been selected as the latest artist to join Radar – Spotify’s marquee artist development program dedicated to spotlighting emerging talent around the world.
Penned by Wetmore with Brett Sheroky and Dan Wilson, Wetmore makes a strong return in this laid-back country hit. The lyrics cleverly grasp the conflicting, heart-racing emotions of one last night together before everything changes. Hitting pause on his own wishes for her to stay, Wetmore savors the final moments of a fleeting love.
“This song embodies that young love feel,” he shares. “I picture people listening to this song with their windows down, riding down the road, thinking about that young love they might have once had that was gone too soon.”
In celebration of his induction into the Radar program, fans can expect to see Wetmore perform “Silverado Blue” as a part of Spotify’s Radar Sessions, coming soon. Wetmore joins a long list of artists including Reneé Rapp, Peso Pluma, Sexyy Red, Zach Bryan and more than 900 others who have all joined the program since its inception in 2020.
Earlier this week, Wetmore checked off a major item on his bucket list as he made his Grand Ole Opry debut to a packed house. Wetmore was overwhelmed by a standing ovation after his three-song set, which included “Wind Up Missin’ You,” “Silverado Blue,” and a first-ever performance of the unreleased track “What Not To.” The emotional evening was capped off when UMG Nashville Chair & CEO Cindy Mabe and Back Blocks Music CEO Rakiyah Marshall surprised Wetmore on stage with two RIAA gold plaques, certifying his double shot of Billboard Hot 100 charting hits “Wine Into Whiskey” and “Wind Up Missin’ You.”
