KOE WETZEL BRINGS DAMN NEAR NORMAL WORLD TOUR TO THE UK/EUROPE THIS AUTUMN
Brand New 13-Track Album 9 Lives Out Now, Featuring Current Single ‘High Road‘ with Jessie Murph
LONDON, U.K. / NASHVILLE, TN. Platinum-selling Texan singer-songwriter Koe Wetzel makes his way to the UK/Europe for the first time this year, bringing his highly anticipated Damn Near Normal World Tour to London, Manchester, Glasgow, Birmingham, Leeds, Amsterdam, Hamburg, Berlin and Cologne.
“We started out nearly 10 years ago playing bars in Texas for tips and a case of beer, and have slowly seen that grow to sold-out venues across the U.S. as fans share the music,” said Wetzel. “Bringing our tour to Europe is honestly hard to wrap my head around — we can’t wait to party with you all.”
The string of shows follows the release of Wetzel’s brand new album 9 Lives last month, which debuted at No. 15 on the all-genre Billboard 200 and No. 5 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart (No. 2 among new releases, behind only the “Twisters” soundtrack), marking his fourth Top 10 entry.
9 Lives features current single ‘High Road‘ with Jessie Murph (watch the official music video here) and chart climber ‘Sweet Dreams‘.
“We’ve been honing and growing a certain sound, and we’re hitting it: it’s what the people have been expecting from me, but we hadn’t gotten there yet,” reflects Wetzel about the album that is resonating with fans in an unprecedented way. “This weekend we saw thousands of people singing the lyrics to every single song from the time we get onto that stage until we were done,” he marvels. “When you see that, you realize what you’re saying means something to people – and that’s more important than anything.”
