Flatland Cavalry's fan-favorite song, “A Life Where We Work Out,” featuring Kaitlin Butts has been certified RIAA Gold, their first RIAA certification. In celebration of the milestone, the band was surprised with a plaque during their sold-out headline debut at Nashville's historic Ryman Auditorium this past Saturday.
The certification adds to a landmark year for the band, who released their acclaimed new album, Wandering Star, this past fall via Interscope Records—their first release in partnership with the label (stream/purchase here).
Produced by Dwight A. Baker (Josh Abbott Band, Pat Green), the album is a collection of country anthems and thoughtful ballads that further elevate the band's signature musicianship and vivid storytelling.
Additionally, Flatland Cavalry also recently released new song, “Wool,” which was featured on The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (Music From & Inspired By), the official soundtrack to the new film in Lionsgate's The Hunger Games saga. Known for their electric live shows, the band is currently in the midst of an extensive headline tour, which includes upcoming stops at New York's Irving Plaza, Boston's House of Blues, Atlanta's Buckhead Theatre, Birmingham's Iron City, Madison's The Sylvee, St. Louis' The Hawthorn and Charlotte's Coyote Joe's among many others.
So far this year, the band has also performed sold-out shows at Nashville's Ryman Auditorium, Minneapolis's The Fillmore, Athens' Georgia Theater (two nights) and Knoxville's Tennessean Theatre. See below for complete tour itinerary.
Based in both Texas and Nashville, 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).
Since their 2015 debut, Flatland Cavalry has released two EPs and three full-length studio albums, including 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 garnered over 290 million streams to date across platforms. Additionally, their track, “Mountain Song,” was also recently featured in the hit television series, “Yellowstone.” Known for their electric live performances, the band has toured relentlessly these past several years including numerous sold-out headline dates as well as shows with Willie Nelson, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis, Midland and more.
