Flatland Cavalry
A spirited country-folk and Americana outfit based out of Lubbock, Texas, Flatland Cavalry draws inspiration from Lone Star State contemporaries like Turnpike Troubadours, Wade Bowen, and Randy Rogers, as well as folk-pop artists such as the Avett Brothers and John Mayer. The group's music often puts fiddle and acoustic guitar up front to give the tunes a strong, rootsy influence tied to the past, but the melodies have a modern feel and are powered by a rock and roll backbeat. The band made a strong full-length debut with 2016's Humble Folks, while a few years of touring helped them achieve a tighter and more unified sound on subsequent releases like 2019's Homeland Insecurity and 2021's Welcome to Countryland. They made their Interscope debut with Wandering Star in 2023.
