Narrator:

Country star Koe Wetzel was straight fire on Billboard’s THE STAGE at SXSW Austin last night, and the crowd was living! In a black tee and camo cap, Koe sang his hits and drank tequila straight from the bottle. Before delivering 17 fiery performances, Austin native George Birge and Ashley Cooke warmed up the stage for Koe, who kicked off his set with “9 Lives” and ended the night with his five-week No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, “High Road.” What’s your favorite Koe Wetzel song?
