West Texas’ Flatland Cavalry is a six-piece outfit that deals in country roots ballads and textured folk storytelling. The band formed in 2012 when its original members, singer and guitarist Cleto Cordero and drummer Jason Albers, began performing together at venues around their college town in Midland, TX. The two filled out the rest of the band by 2014 to include Jonathan Saenz (bass, vocals), Reid Dillon (electric guitar), Wesley Hall (fiddle) and Adam Gallegos (keys). Flatland Cavalry now has four studio albums to its name, including its newest effort, 2023’s Wandering Star. Most recently, the band had a featured song on the album The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (Music From & Inspired By). The band’s Georgia Theatre performances will be opened by Colby Acuff, a country singer-songwriter from Idaho.
