Half Life

Running Out Of Time

Wyatt Flores crafts the kinds of songs you can listen to crossing state lines on the way to a new beginning. He lets out regret through his unfiltered delivery, while hope buoys coarse guitar chords even in the face of life’s most turbulent storms. This stark honesty has cemented the Mexican-American Oklahoma-born and -bred troubadour as one of country music's most vital voices. 

After releasing a handful of singles – including the fan-favorite, “Please Don’t Go,” – Flores began building a steadfast following of listeners who often heard shades of their life experience in his honest songs. Gigs in tiny Oklahoma bars turned into shoulder-to-shoulder club shows and, eventually, a contract with Island Records. With 2023 EP Life Lessons and early 2024’s eight song collection Half Life under his belt, Flores’ music now reaches millions each month. 

His debut album, Welcome To The Plains, is out now. The scene-setting title track gives a new take on his homeland. In the chorus, he sings, “It’s red dirt poor and wanting more/ Mr. Weatherman knocking at my door/ Where dreams go drying up like rain … Welcome to the plains.”
