Koe Wetzel: The Night Champion, 10 Years of Texas Rock & Fatherhood

On Episode 302 of Outside The Round, Matt Burrill sits down with Koe Wetzel to talk about his new album The Night Champion, life as a new father, and the wild journey from playing empty bars across Texas to headlining arenas, international tours, and the Houston Rodeo. Koe reflects on coming up alongside artists like Parker McCollum, Muscadine Bloodline, and Reed Southall, building the Texas rock movement, and helping develop the next generation through Floating Leaf. He also dives into the making of The Night Champion, working with Nashville songwriters, balancing family life with the road, and why this record feels like a culmination of every era of his career. Plus, stories about Red Door nights with Andrew Bayliss, the Riot Room, Australia tours, and watching artists like Ella Langley, Gavin Adcock, and the next wave of country music take over.
