I asked him what the major difference is between American crowds opposed to overseas ones.
Country Fans in America Compared to Country Fans Overseas
“They’re super respectful over here, I’d say,” the “Brunette” singer says. “Not that they’re not in the states, it’s just different. It’s different and I can’t really explain it. Honestly, slamming beers and having a good time.”
“Obviously there’s different concert etiquette and that’s something that I’m learning,” he continues.
“Some crowds are more intent on what you’re doing up there on stage, more directed to focusing on the show instead of having a crazy party time.”

Zooming out to look at all the legs on his world tour as a whole, he says, “I feel like on this run [overseas] it’s been a good mix of both and it’s been like, every show is crazy. People singing and screaming the songs and jumping up and down.”
Wetmore will kick off part 2 of his Brunette World Tour June 21 in Uncasville, Conn.
