Eight Essential Koe Wetzel Songs We Hope He Plays at Billboard’s The Stage at SXSW
Eight essential Koe Wetzel songs we hope he plays at Billboard's The Stage at SXSW.
When Koe Wetzel plays Billboard ’s The Stage at SXSW Thursday night (March 13) at Moody Amphitheater at Waterloo Park in Austin, fans can expect a typically high-octane, guitar-driven show full of songs about road life and troubled relationships, both often fueled by substances. Already a sensation in the Lone Star State — he hails from the tiny East Texas hamlet of Pittsburg, population 4,335 — Wetzel recently saw his popularity reach a new plateau with “High Road,” his jagged duet with Jessie Murph from 2024’s 9 Lives. Singing about the wreckage of a relationship isn’t new for Wetzel, but on this one he has no vitriol, just resignation at his inability to stop his own damaging behavior as his sadness plays out against an almost lilting melody: “When I find a good thing, I burn it down slow/ Only see your face now when my eyes are closed.”
