The official music video for Flatland Cavalry’s new song, “Last American Summer,” is debuting today. Directed and produced Adam Paul Stone, the video is a nostalgic look at summers passed. Watch/share HERE.
Written by lead singer Cleto Cordero and Will Hoge and produced by Dwight A. Baker (Josh Abbott Band, Pat Green), “Last American Summer” was released this past June. Of the song, Whiskey Riff praises, “another sonically spectacular track with heartfelt lyricism that is sure to resonate with fans everywhere…may just be one of the soundtracks to your summer this year,” while Country Chord declares, “hands down one of my favorite Country acts in the genre.”
“Last American Summer” is the band’s first new music since their acclaimed EP, Songs To Keep You Warm, which was released this past fall (stream/purchase here). Produced by Bruce Robison, the EP consists of six tracks including “Mountain Song,” which was featured in Paramount Network’s hit show, “Yellowstone.” Of the release, Brooklyn Veganpraised, “the kind of raw, no-nonsense country that should appeal to people whose taste in country veers towards Willie Nelson, John Prine, and Townes Van Zandt. There’s nothing too fancy or too pop about it, but it’s not retro either. It’s just great songwriting,” while Americana Highways proclaimed, “Cordero’s lyrics waste no time cutting right to the heart…the musicianship from Flatland Cavalry band members elevates each tune.”
Known for their electric live shows, the band will continue to tour through this fall including upcoming dates with Willie Nelson, Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis and Parker McCollum. See below for complete tour itinerary.
Based in both Texas and Nashville, Flatland Cavalry is Cordero (vocals, acoustic guitar), Jason Albers (drums), Jonathan Saenz (bass), Reid Dillon (electric guitar, harmonica, second fiddle), Wesley Hall (fiddle) and Adam Gallegos(piano, keys, mandolin, banjo, electric guitar).
Since their 2015 debut, Flatland Cavalry has released two EPs and three full-length studio albums, including their latest, 2021’s Welcome to Countryland. Of the record, The Wall Street Journal praised, “a clear musical point of view, original melodies, mature confidence in portraying romantic matters, and increasingly fresh, distinctive lyrics…a straightforward, upbeat electrified country-rock band,” while Rolling Stone declared, “Flatland Cavalry are promising to make days a little brighter wherever they go.” With the release, the band earned two #1 singles at Texas Country Radio (“Gettin’ By” and “A Cowboy Knows How”) and has garnered over 290 million streams across platforms to date.
