Acclaimed singer, songwriter and musician Wyatt Flores’ first live album, Live At Cain’s Ballroom, is out today via Island Records. Stream/purchase HERE.
Recorded during Flores’ sold-out shows at Tulsa’s Cain’s Ballroom this past December, the album features songs from across his catalogue as well as a cover of Turnpike Troubadours’ “Ringing In The Year.” Ahead of the release, Flores recently unveiled “West of Tulsa (Live At Cain’s Ballroom),” which Country Cue called “a compelling live recording that masterfully captures the authentic spirit of his performances.” Watch the official music video HERE.
Reflecting on the project, Flores shares, “Live At Cain’s Ballroom is a snapshot of some of the greatest nights of my life. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed playing it.”
The record adds to a breakout year for Flores, who released his full-length debut album, Welcome to the Plains, this past fall (stream/purchase here). Produced by Beau Bedford (Orville Peck, Shane Smith & The Saints), the project details Flores’ journey as he balances the struggle of leaving his hometown of Stillwater, OK with the highs and lows of life on the road. In celebration of the new music, Flores was recently featured as part of NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk Concert” series, made his late-night television debut on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” performed on “CBS Saturday Morning” and spoke with NPR’s “All Things Considered.”
Known for his electric live performances, Flores will tour through this spring with his “Welcome Back to the Plains Tour,” which includes stops at St. Petersburg’s Jannus Live, Memphis’ Graceland Soundstage, New Orleans’ The Fillmore, Charlottesville’s Ting Pavilion and St. Louis’ Ballpark Village among others. See below for complete tour itinerary.
Born and raised in Oklahoma, the Mexican-American artist has established himself as one of country music’s most vital voices with his three previous EPs, including Half Life. Receiving widespread critical attention, The New York Timespraised, “Wyatt Flores…Has a Superpower: Tapping Emotions,” while NPR Music declared, “a fantastic record…he is making a big splash out there” and Holler proclaimed, “Flores at his gloriously life affirming, existential best.”
Flores has also been recognized as one of Rolling Stone’s 25 “Future of Music” artists, received a nomination for Emerging Act of the Year at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards, was selected as Amazon’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year, included in Spotify’s Hot Country Class of 2024 and CMT’s Listen Up class, and made his Grand Ole Opry debut. Additionally, Flores has garnered over 325 million streams to date, saw his 2022 breakout single, “Please Don’t Go,” scale the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart and had his song “Before I Do” with Jake Kohn featured on the soundtrack for the Twisters movie.
