Koe Wetzel teases upcoming album with new song
After ending 2024 with his first #1 at Country Radio, Koe Wetzel, a prominent figure in Texas Country music, is carrying the positive energy into 2025 with various exciting projects in the pipeline. With a new album on the horizon, a supporting gig on HARDY’s Jim Bob tour, and a growing fanbase, there’s a lot to look forward to from the artist.
Wetzel’s initial breakthrough with the single “High Road” featuring Jessie Murph introduced him to many Country fans, but his success stretches back years in the Texas Country scene. The East Texan artist has decided to broaden his reach beyond Texas by tapping into Nashville’s music landscape, aiming to showcase what Texas music is truly about. Despite the expansion, Wetzel remains committed to preserving the authenticity of his music and proudly represents the Texas roots within Country music, alongside artists like Cody Johnson and Parker McCollum.
Teaming up with HARDY for the Jim Bob tour this year presents Wetzel with a significant platform to exhibit the Texan way to a wider audience as they tour arenas and amphitheaters across the U.S. and Europe. Expressing his excitement about hitting the road with HARDY, Koe mentioned their camaraderie and the promising lineup of shows ahead. Despite having a reputation for wild antics, which previously led to a shoulder injury on tour, the artist acknowledged the need to dial back the craziness this time around. Both Koe and HARDY are anticipating the arrival of baby girls this year, which mandates a slightly more responsible approach.
As work progresses on his upcoming album, Wetzel hinted at a shift towards a more Rock & Roll sound, reminiscent of Texas Rock & Roll vibes. Without divulging too many details, he expressed his enjoyment in creating this new record, suggesting that it promises to be a thrilling musical journey. At an intimate gathering of Audacy listeners, Koe treated them to a sneak peek of his upcoming album by performing an unreleased track titled “Surrounded.” The song provides a glimpse into the direction of his new music, hinting at an electrifying blend of genres that fans can anticipate.
With Wetzel gearing up for a busy year ahead, including touring and working on a fresh album, the artist remains committed to delivering authentic and engaging music that stays true to his Texas roots while embracing new sounds and influences. Fans can expect a compelling mix of Rock & Roll vibes and traditional Texan music in his upcoming work, showcasing the artist’s evolution and creative energy. Stay tuned for more updates from Koe Wetzel as he continues to make waves in the music industry.
