Flatland Cavalry
Flatland Cavalry is breaking out into a gallop. After years of hot trotting across their native Texas, the country outfit is primed for a breakout with the release of their third full-length album, the sonically sprawling and wistfully written Welcome to Countryland.
The Texas sextet––bandleader and chief lyricist Cleto Cordero, guitarist Reid Dillon, bassist Jonathan Saenz, drummer Jason Albers, fiddle player Wesley Hall, and utility instrumentalist Adam Gallegos––continue to embrace their trademark sound while further pushing into the wild unknown. When it was time to embark on recording a new album, resting on their laurels was simply out of the realm of possibilities.
Following the release of 2019’s critically-acclaimed Homeland Insecurity and their 2016 full-length debut Humble Folks, they’ve been on a healthy trajectory rising through the country ranks. After years of working with Lubbock stalwart Scott Faris in the friendly confines of Amusement Park Studios, Flatland decided a change of scenery was necessary. Despite some hesitation and a mix of emotions, they instantly knew recording at Nashville’s Sound Emporium Studio A with rising producer Jake Gear was the right move.
Since its release, Welcome To Countryland has garnered critical praise from Rolling Stone, Wall Street Journal, Holler, Whiskey Riff, BrooklynVegan and many other outlets. The band concluded their hugely successful Welcome To Countryland Tour by selling out Billy Bob’s Texas in December 2021, and kicked off 2022 with the release of the Far Out West Sessions. These stripped-down, one-take acoustic performance videos of their 2021 hits recorded on-site in the vast deserts and mountain ranges of Far West Texas were an instant hit with fans, so the band released the tapes on streaming platforms and embarked on the Far Out West Tour.
With tour dates from Seattle to London, festival debuts from C2C to Stagecoach, and coveted support slots with Luke Combs, Eric Church and more, the Far Out West Tour brought Flatland Cavalry to new corners of the globe. As 2022 neared its end they surprise-released the highly anticipated single “Mountain Song” and announced an EP to arrive in the Fall.
With more new music on the horizon, 17 upcoming stadium shows with Luke Combs, and a stacked touring calendar for 2024, Flatland Cavalry is approaching global influence in the Country & Folk music world.
Ty Myers
You can practically hear the grit in the music of Ty Myers. The 17-year-old Austin, TX singer, songwriter, and guitarist takes a no-nonsense work ethic forged on his family’s cattle ranch and applies it to practicing, performing, and writing. As such, he has notched hundreds of gigs under his belt (before even graduating high school), developed impressive guitar chops, and cultivated a signature style anchored by old school country storytelling, bluesy riffing, and stunning soul vocals. Among his earliest memories, he vividly recalled watching grandma behind the piano in church and dad performing weekend gigs in local venues. Getting accustomed to acoustic guitar, he dug into electric at 12-years-old. He didn’t just recognize his calling; he pursued it restlessly. In order to focus on music, he chose to be homeschooled. During 2023, his grind paid off in a big way. He uploaded “Tie That Binds” online, and the TikTok account Bonfire Specials organically plugged it. The song surged on social media, and labels flooded his inbox. The breakout tune eventually gathered 6 million Spotify streams followed by “Drinkin’ Alone,” “But Me,” and more. In the meantime, he joined forces with Narvel Blackstock and Starstruck Entertainment and inked a deal with RECORDS Nashville/Columbia Records. Emerging as a powerhouse performer in his own right, he notably shared the stage with everyone from Willie Nelson to Wade Bowen, Randy Rogers Band, Cody Johnson, and Josh Meloy. Piling up tens of millions of streams and attracting a devout audience, this sound continues to distinguish him on a series of singles and his forthcoming debut for RECORDS Nashville/Columbia Records.
