Wetmore realizes longstanding dream

Monday, August 19, 2024 – Tucker Wetmore will make his Grand Ole Opry debut on Sept. 10. The exciting announcement was shared on social media where fans can watch the moment Wetmore received the career-changing news in a visit to his grandmother's house in Kalama, Wash.

Wetmore's grandmother presented him with an heirloom from his late grandfather, who played a pivotal role in his music aspirations, before handing him a note from the Opry that read, "We know the Grand Ole Opry has played a pivotal role in your journey, and we'd love to officially make you a part of ours...We look forward to celebrating this significant milestone where it all began."

"Wow, I don't really have the words to describe how grateful and honored I am right now. The Opry was one of the reasons why I moved to this town to chase this dream and has been a goal of mine for as long as I can remember. Not only being invited, but getting to share such an important part in my career with my family and those I love the most brings me to tears just thinkin about. From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I'll see y'all on Sept. 10th @opry," he posted on Instagram.

Wetmore first came to Nashville in 2020 and felt compelled to make the move after his first visit to the Opry.

Wetmore's Opry debut comes just ahead of the launch of his first-ever headlining tour, Waves On A Sunset Tour 2024, on Oct. 4 in Statesboro, Ga. The 17-stop tour will feature direct support from Hannah McFarland, Eli Winders and Ashland Craft.

Wetmore has previously released the songs "Wine Into Whiskey" and "Wind Up Missin' You." He also recently notched two songs on the star-studded soundtrack of "Twisters," released to theaters last month, with "Already Had It" and "Steal My Thunder" with Conner Smith.

Wetmore will close out the summer with opening slots on Luke Bryan's FARM TOUR 2024 plus dates with Jordan Davis and Cole Swindell.
