A big year ahead for the Texas rocker.
The last two years have been a whirlwind for Koe Wetzel. He’s still riding high from his last LP, 9 Lives, in 2024, which led to his first-career #1 hit on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with “High Road” featuring Jessie Murph. In terms of his personal life, Koe also welcomed his first child, Woods Madison Wetzel, with longtime girlfriend Bailey Fisher on May 23, 2025, marking a year full of changes for him.
And while fans did not get much new music from Wetzel this year, his releases included two singles, “Surrounded” and “Werewolf,” and a collaboration with Corey Kent titled “Rocky Mountain Low.” But the lack of a full-length project from Wetzel in 2025 did not mean that he wasn’t busy in the studio.
According to Wetzel, he has recorded not one but TWO records over the past year. Though there’s no scheduled release date, he promised that new music is coming soon.
“We’ve got some new music coming. I don’t know exactly when the release date’s gonna be, but a lot of new music. I think we’re sitting on like two records now. We’re excited about all the new music and finishing up the tour and hunting season.”

While fans were foaming at the mouth to hear that news, during a recent interview with Country Countdown USA, it sounds like he has a lot of music coming this year and is already in the studio working on even more.
“Yeah, we’re coming, man. We got piles and piles of new music stored away. All dropping in 2026. I’m going back to write here, once the holidays are through we’re going to start on some more new music.
So, 2025 for us was just kind of a rebuild year. You know, we toured with Hardy, and it was just kind of a we got in the studio and cut as much music as possible in 2025, and we did that.
We got one hell of a record, you know, I think. In my opinion, every artist is going to say that their newest record is the best one that they’ve ever done. But for me, this batch of songs and this sound that we’ve kind of come together with, it’s awesome. This whole new sound to me has continued, and it’s… I don’t know, we’re really excited about it.”
And fans are excited about the forthcoming sound that Wetzel has teased, too. In November, the “Too High To Cry” singer shared a taste of the new music he’s been working on with fans, sending a text via his fan club number asking which song they liked best:
“Which song #1-6?”
Give ’em all to us. Koe Wetzel has a lot in the pipeline for 2026, and we are ready.
