Wyatt Flores is a 23-year-old singer-songwriter from Stillwater, Oklahoma, who’s making a name for himself in the Red Dirt music scene, building on the musical legacy of his home state. He grew up on a ranch in a working-class family where he was surrounded by musicians, often hearing them play cowboy songs around a campfire. Wyatt’s debut album, Welcome to the Plains, explores the rough side of growing up in rural Oklahoma, but it also shows a talent for storytelling and a wry sense of humor.

00:19that we're all pretty much alike. We could all sit around a fire together. But what makes Oklahoma
00:23so different is the people, the way that we are raised and our upbringing is rough around the
00:28edges. But we're also some of the nicest people you'll ever meet. That's what it means to come
00:31from Oklahoma.
