 Lighting Director Dominic Ingegneri & 4Wall Ignite Tucker Wetmore’s 2025 Tour

Nashville, TN - Fast-rising country music artist Tucker Wetmore had an action-packed year on the road, with 4Wall Entertainment once again supporting his journey across North America with lighting and rigging. With Lighting Director Dominic Ingegneri at the helm of the tour's visual experience, Wetmore's live shows delivered an energetic atmosphere that shone across venues throughout the summer and fall of 2025.  

Coming right off Wetmore's European and US Headline tour, Ingegneri conceptualized a design that not only reflected the artist's western-themed aesthetic but was easily adaptable for quick changeovers while fitting into one truck. Since Wetmore served as a supporting act for Thomas Rhett's "Better in Boots" tour, Ingegneri's vision was engineered for efficiency and impact.


 
"We played a lot of different sized venues with this rig, so it was definitely a big undertaking making sure we were able to pack a punch from the smallest to the largest venues," Ingegneri explained. "In collaboration between me and our project manager Jason Blasing from 4Wall, we were able to come up with a modular truss design for easy roll on and off with cable and rigging, which was huge for the Thomas Rhett shows." 
 
At the core of Ingegneri's design was the need to reflect the energy of Wetmore's performances across a variety of venues, achieved by utilizing IP-rated fixtures and programming MA3 recipes in Mode 3 for seamless workflows in both intimate venues and larger festival spaces.  

"For the profiles, we landed on the Chauvet Storm 2 Profile," he said. "It's incredibly bright for its size and weight, especially for an IP rated body. It cuts through great on those festival daylight sets and has phenomenal color and gobos." 


 
Alongside the Chauvet Professional Storm 2 Profile, Ingegneri's deployed Strike Sabers to powerfully radiate the tour's western theme. 
 
"We also had 10 Chauvet Strike Sabers sitting behind the band risers and in front of Tuckers piano riser," he added. "They provided a great warm feel to the set, which ties into the saloon design of our backdrop, and great backlight looks for the band." 


 
ACME Pixel Line IP fixtures also played a major role in boldly amplifying the energetic aspects of Wetmore's performances.  
 
"A huge element of the design is the 24 ACME Pixel Line IP's lining our band risers and upstage truss," he elaborated. "They are incredibly bright and having the center row of strobe cells has been great for those big hits and strobe moments throughout the show."  


 
Ingegneri's gear selection enabled him to uniquely translate Wetmore's artistry throughout a dynamic range of spirited and emotional moments of the show, such as during the song, "Brunette." 
 
"I wanted to put a huge emphasis on the musicians and the amazing parts they are playing and highlight those parts from a lighting perspective," he expressed. "That then leads to a huge silhouette of Tucker going into the first verse, which is a big moment of the show. Another moment I've fallen in love with is the song 'What Would You Do.' It's a big tone shift in the middle of the show, and I was able to pull out some fun programming tricks that we hadn't seen in the show to that point. It's always a crowd favorite." 

With how fast-paced the tour was, preparation was crucial in tackling tight schedules and the artist's sold-out headlining debut at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. 

"Tucker's Ryman Auditorium headline show falling right in the middle of that week with a different production design from the previous tour was a challenge," he said. "Our rehearsals took place in 4wall Nashville's demo space, and we were able to prepare the rig in that same space as well. That was a huge saving grace when it came to the crazy timeline of that week." 


 
By working closely with 4Wall Project Manager Jason Blasing and Director of Business Development Tyler Bevel, challenges were quickly resolved through the company's abundant resources and dedication to providing exceptional service.  
 
"The service we received from Tyler, Jason, and the entire 4Wall team was next to none," Ingegneri said. "They were incredibly fast in getting us updated quotes as things progressed quickly and making sure we had everything we needed to get from prep, through rehearsals, and out on the road seamlessly." 

With precise and robust support being delivered over the months, 4Wall demonstrated an unwavering dedication to ensuring Ingegneri and the tour's success. 

"Jason was able to take what I had on paper and come up with practical solutions for easy load-in and out on show days," Ingegneri stated. "Another moment is a fly date we had in Montreal earlier in the year. Tucker is huge on ensuring we're able to bring a consistent show as much as humanly possible. When this show's routing wasn't going to allow us to get our truck there in time, our first call was to 4wall to see if they could provide a duplicate B rig and get it up to the show in time. They had it prepped 1-to-1 with our main rig, while I was able to get the show prepared in pre-viz." 


 
The seamless, long-standing collaboration between 4Wall and Ingegneri throughout the year was instrumental in delivering an unforgettable experience for every show.  

"The service we received from 4wall on not only this tour, but the entire year was world class," he concluded. "Tyler Bevel and Jason Blasing were huge in getting this off the ground and making sure me and the entire crew had everything we needed to be set up for success. 4wall's size and global scale has been a huge win for us. With Tucker expanding his international travel, knowing no matter where we are in the world 4Wall will be able to support and take care of us is a huge peace of mind to me and the entire crew!"
