THE ODDS ON TUCKER WETMORE

With Stagecoach about to saddle up, word has it that the Tucker Wetmore signing derby is entering the home stretch. Tucker and manager Rakiyah Marshall, we’re told, completed their circuit of major-label meetings last week. While multiple companies in Nashville and on both coasts have been champing at the bit to sign him, oddsmakers say a few have pulled ahead of the pack.

Could THIS come down to a photo finish following this weekend’s gallop to the desert? Is a hybrid deal involving a Music City label and a coastal major in the cards? Don’t bet against it. Back Blocks-repped thoroughbred Wetmore has already racked up 60m+ streams with his Stem-distribbed indie tracks, so expect this race to pay out handsomely.
