His collaborative single with Corey Kent, \u201cRocky Mountain Low,\u201d currently rests inside the top 10, while his solo track \u201cHurts Like You\u201d has also begun logging regional radio airplay. The sudden influx of music follows a highly active commercial period for the Texas native, whose previous album \u201c9 Lives\u201d produced a multi-platinum, chart-topping hit with 2025\u2019s \u201cHigh Road.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Audiences will have their first opportunity to hear the newly expanded tracklist performed live during the North American leg of The Night Champion World Tour. The 45-city arena and amphitheater trek will feature a rotating lineup of supporting artists, including Shane Smith &amp; The Saints, Wyatt Flores, Corey Kent, and Wade Bowen.<\/p>\n<p>Editorial credit: PV productions \/ Shutterstock.com<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Koe Wetzel has dropped a five-song expansion of his latest studio album, \u201cThe Night Champion,\u201d with the deluxe edition arriving just weeks after the original 11-track record debuted.
