Flatland Cavalry
2024-03-23 20:00 (America/Chicago) | Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center, 1310 FM 1788, Midland, Texas
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, thesonically sprawling and wistfully written Welcome to Countryland.
The Texas sextet––band leader 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 wildunknown. When it was time to embark on recording a new album, resting on their laurels wassimply out of the realm of possibilities.
Following the release of 2019’s critically-acclaimed Homeland Insecurityand 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 ParkStudios, Flatland decided a change ofscenery was necessary. Despite some hesitation and a mixof 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 criticalpraise from Rolling Stone, Wall Street Journal, Holler, Whiskey Riff, Brooklyn Vegan and many other outlets. The band concluded their hugely successful Welcome To Countryland Tour by selling out Billy Bob’s Texas inDecember 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 thevast deserts and mountain ranges of Far West Texas were an instant hit with fans, so the bandreleased 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 covetedsupport 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 2023, Flatland Cavalry is approaching global influence in the Country& Folk music world.

The Oak Ridge Boys 2024 American Made Farewell Tour
2024-03-22 19:30 | Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center, 1310 FM 1788, Midland, Texas
GRAMMY® Award-winning and Country Music Hall of Fame members, The Oak Ridge Boys are officially celebrating their 50th Anniversary this October. With this celebration, The Oak Ridge Boys are announcing their American Made: Farewell Tour! The group, Duane Allen, Ben James, William Lee Golden, and Richard Sterban are excited to celebrate both milestones with fans with the announcement of this tour.
“We are doing a farewell tour because we owe it to our fans to say goodbye,” shares William Lee Golden. “They have always been there for us through the good times and the bad. I will always be thankful to every person who came out to a show, bought a t-shirt, played our music, and overall, loved us enough to spend their hard-earned money whenever they could. This tour is for you!”
“I want to thank God for 50 years of singing with three of my best friends and for the fans who have been there for us,” shares Richard Sterban. “This is a celebration and we hope to see you there.”
Designated as America’s national anthem singers by the MENC (National Association for Music Educators), The Oak Ridge Boys released their #1 hit single, “American Made” in February 1983. Their love for God and country remains true to this day, and with this being the 40th Anniversary of the single, it seemed fitting to incorporate “American Made” into their farewell.
