Sacramento, California’s newest music venue, Channel 24, had drinkin’ boots rushing to the entrance on Thursday, April 24, 2025. Performing for a sold-out audience, Tucker Wetmore showed concert goers how to giddy on up as he brought his Waves On A Sunset Tour to the golden state. Following opener, Jacob Hackworth, Tucker’s set continued to light up the venue as he took the stage. The cheers and smiles filling the house as he counted down from “3, 2, 1” with the audience — his debut album What Not To going live on the venue’s opening night. Surrounded by his supportive foundation of family and friends on stage, Tucker was proving to be a breath of fresh air for country fans.
Performing “Break First” and “Wine Into Whisky” from his 2025 album What Not To, Tucker’s presence on stage was steadfast and playful as he interacted with the audience. From star-filled eyes to couples dancing in the crowd, Tucker had the energy at an all-time high. Concert goers swayed and brought Tucker to grateful knees as they sang along to his well-known 2024 single “Wind Up Missin’ You” and his popular 2025 singles “3,2,1” and “Casino.” First time concert goers adoringly watched from barricade with personalized signage as Tucker leaped from stage left to stage right, soaking up the energy radiating from the audience.
Stage lighting glimmered in an array of sunburst gold and “Silverado Blue” throughout the entirety of Tucker’s set. “We still got a little time before you gotta go — whatcha say we go down one more road,” was the vibe as Tucker approached the end of his set. Lively performing “Bad Luck Looks Good On Me” from What Not To and sending the house soaring with “Already Had It” from Twisters: The Album, he had blondes and brunettes alike swept up in the enthralling Twister that is Tucker Wetmore. Emerging from the thunder and lightning, like the aftermath of a refreshing spring storm, concert goers undoubtedly left the venue that evening knowing that they just witnessed one of country music’s next rising stars.
