Flatland Cavalry

The roots for the formation of Flatland Cavalry were first laid when Cleto Cordero and Jason Albers began playing at local venues while rooming together at Midland College. The two had been jamming together since junior high but it was not until they moved to Lubbock in 2012 that the band began to take shape. It was here, while studying at Texas Tech University, that the duo met Laura Jane at a house party. Jonathan Saenz and Reid Dillon joined the rest in 2014 and the band's lineup was complete. Cordero himself began playing the guitar at age 14 and wrote his first song by the time he was 17 years old for Lee High School's Rebel Lee Court Awards Ceremony. He writes most of the band's songs apart from playing the role of lead guitarist and singer with Jason Albers on drums, Jonathan Saenz on bass, Reid Dillon on guitar and Wesley Hall on fiddle. Hall took the place of Laura Jane when she parted ways with the band in 2018. == Career ==

The band released its first EP, Come May, in 2015, gathering funds for its production via a crowdfunding platform. In the time that lapsed between the two, the band toured extensively. As the band's primary songwriter, Cordero also penned lyrics for Homeland Insecurity. The album was well-received and praised for its distinctive sound. The band announced the release of their fourth studio album, Wandering Star, on October 27, 2023. The album is their first release on Interscope Records, which follows their 2022 EP, Songs to Keep You Warm. Wandering Star consists of 13 solo tracks and one collaborative track featuring Kaitlin Butts. The album consists of 12 solo tracks. == Discography ==
