That’s how it’s done.
This past weekend Koe Wetzel played a show in Washington, D.C. at The Anthem as part of his The Night Champion World Tour, and during the concert, he spotted a fight breaking out near the front of the crowd (as is pretty typical at a Koe show), but this time, it was even more dangerous because there was a little boy nearby.
Koe somehow saw it from the stage, and he told one of the security guards to bring the little boy up on stage. They went and picked him up and carried him to the stage, where he stood on the side and played some with one of Koe’s guitar players, and then they had him walk out and stand with Koe to let him sing some on “Forever.”
At the end of the song, he introduced himself to the crowd, saying:
“My name ie Eli. What’s up D.C.”
Koe then said something about people fighting, and I couldn’t quite make it out, but it was a really sweet moment and I’m sure something Eli will remember forever:
@the.price.is.mike Koe noticed a fight in the crowd and a kid was around it on his moms shoulders so he got him out of there ASAP and brought him up on stage. @Koe Wetzel @TRAINTHEBODYGUARD ♬ original sound – the.price.is.mike
The fans in the comments section seemed to love seeing that side of Koe, who has definitely changed a lot since becoming a dad a little over a year ago:
“He’s change a ton since becoming a dad.”
“I love that he ALWAYS calls that s*** out.”
“I love how some of his band members immediately went over an interacted with the kid.”
“Dad Koe in the mf house!”
“Daddy Koe is my favorite phase.”
“This is why I f*** with Koe. He’s a good guy at heart.”
“He always call this stuff out but I wholeheartedly he has become softer to stuff like this since his little one was born …. great to see.”
“Bad*** but who brings a kid that size to the pit at a Koe Wetzel concert?”
“Was in the front row absolutely insane.”
“And this why Koe is the BEST!!!”
“What a guy.”
“Awwww I love daddy Koe! So sweet!”
“Having a kid was the best thing for Koe, love where he’s at now!
“He was raised right!”
Turn it up…
“Forever”
