Koe Wetzel never met a genre wall he couldn’t tear down: The Texas singer-songwriter has earned a rabid audience for his songs that mix country, rock, hip-hop, and even Nineties grunge. His new album, 9 Lives (Columbia) debuted at No. 15 on the all-genre Billboard 200 and No. 5 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, with Platinum-certified lead single “High Road” feat. Jessie Murph rapidly hitting Top 20 and climbing as his debut at Country radio while also ascending both the Hot AC and Top 40 charts. Previously, his 2016 album Noise Complaint endeared him to fans with its no-holds-barred lyrics about drunken nights, broken hearts and stints in jail, and included the Gold-certified hits “Love” feat. Parker McCollum, “Something to Talk About” and the infamous “February 28, 2016.” Wetzel’s 2020 major label debut, Sellout, only furthered his legend with the Platinum-certified “Drunk Driving” and “Good Die Young” plus the Gold-certified “Kuntry & Wistern.” The 2022 follow-up, Hell Paso, hit No. 3 on Billboard’s Country Albums and spawned hits on both the country and rock charts, including the Gold-certified “Creeps” and “Cabo.”
To date, Wetzel has 3.4 billion total streams and has created a genuine experience with his live concerts, which he describes as “total chaos.” He sold more than 750,000 tickets over the past two years alone and appeared for a third time on POLLSTAR’s Top Worldwide Tours in 2023. Wetzel headlined multiple festival sets this summer and opened for Morgan Wallen on the superstar’s One Night at a Time Stadium Tour in Texas, while also selling out shows all across the country on his own Damn Near Normal World Tour, which heads to Europe this fall.
