Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and musician Wyatt Flores is in the midst of a breakout year following the release of his full-length debut album, Welcome to the Plains, this past fall (Island Records). With the record, produced by Beau Bedford (Orville Peck, Shane Smith & The Saints), Flores continues to gain widespread attention, having appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert series and CBS Saturday Morning, while the album landed on several “Best of 2024” lists such as NPR, Rolling Stone, and more.
