Event Details
Critically acclaimed country-roots six-piece Flatland Cavalry has blazed their own trail on the Americana and country music circuit, sharing their hearty brand of homespun tunes the world over – easy on the ears, heavy on the heart.
The “straightforward, upbeat electrified country-rock band” (Wall Street Journal) continue with relentless momentum on their journey from the heart of West Texas to the center of country culture, earning a myriad of outstanding accolades along the way: seven #1 singles at Texas Country Radio, back-to-back nominations for ACM Group of the Year, syncs across TV and film including Twisters, The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, Paramount’s “Yellowstone” and “Landman,” and Netflix’s “The Ranch,” and well over 1 billion streams worldwide.
Whether it’s been hot-trotting in a 12-passenger van, caravanning on colossal treks with Willie Nelson, Luke Combs, and Lainey Wilson, or headlining their own months-long tours with a Who’s Who of historic venue sellouts along the way, Flatland Cavalry remains “at the fore of the red dirt renaissance” (Rolling Stone).
With their debut single to country radio, “Never Comin’ Back,” spinning nationwide now, Flatland Cavalry continues to broaden their own sonic horizons while keeping a clear, firm grasp on their foundational and endearing sound. Flatland Cavalry is Cleto Cordero (vocals, acoustic guitar), Jason Albers (drums, percussion), Jonathan Saenz (bass, background vocals), Reid Dillon (electric guitar), Wesley Hall (fiddle), and Adam Gallegos (piano, organ, keys, mandolin, banjo, acoustic guitar, Wurlitzer, Mellotron)..
