Brandon Wisham has range, and “Tears In Her Tequila” proves it. The South Carolina-bred 23-year-old releases his new single today, a bittersweet country lament that sits comfortably between last-call empathy and dance-floor momentum. Written by Wisham alongside Micah Carpenter and Bart Butler, and produced by Matt Geroux, the track fuses classic country instrumentation with driving rhythms that build to a genuinely soaring chorus.
The songwriting is precise and cinematic. Wisham opens with a scene, a woman in her going-out dress carrying heartbreak nobody else can see, and builds toward warmhearted reassurance without ever tipping into sentimentality. His vocal performance is restrained and simmering throughout, the kind of controlled delivery that makes the emotional payoff land harder. A lyric video directed by Kate Bowling accompanies the release, each line splashed across the patch of Wisham’s camo trucker hat.
“Tears In Her Tequila” follows January’s “Good Grief,” a soul-baring reflection on losing his father to Covid, and sits alongside a growing catalog that includes SiriusXM Highway Find “Better Than The Day” and the country-rock banger “She’s Good.” Wisham earned his first publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and The Core Entertainment at 19, opened for Bailey Zimmerman on a major 2024 tour, and has been building serious momentum on the road ever since.
He is currently on tour supporting multi-platinum hitmaker Nate Smith across North America, with stops including Billy Bob’s Texas tomorrow night and a two-night stand at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on June 17 and 18. Wisham also makes his Stagecoach debut on Sunday April 26.
