Acclaimed singer, songwriter, and musician Wyatt Flores will celebrate the release of his anticipated sophomore album, Scared of Heights, with special pop-up shows at Tulsa’s Guthrie Green on July 31 with special guest Lance Roark, Nashville’s Skinny Dennis on August 2, Denver’s Broken Bow Western Dancehall on August 5, and Chicago’s Carol’s Pub on August 6.
Due to limited capacity, tickets for the Nashville and Chicago performances will be available exclusively through a limited lottery.
In addition to the performances, Flores will host album signings in each city, as well as a stop in Oklahoma City.

The 13-track album marks a new chapter for Flores, pairing early-2000s pop and rock with the vulnerable songwriting that has established him as “one of the genre’s most conspicuous new voices,” according to Billboard.
Throughout the record, Flores offers an unfiltered look at his life over the past few years, reflecting on what it means to face darkness head-on in order to find moments of peace.
Ahead of the release, Flores has unveiled four album tracks: “Scared of Heights,” “Half The Man,” “Drive All Night,” and “Runnin’ On E,” the latter of which Billboard praises: “Those self-aware lyrics are paired with breezy melody and a gently rollicking rhythm, making this feel like a freewheeling summertime favorite.”
Flores is also featured on Carter Faith’s new single, “Nothin’ Better To Do,” which led All Country News to declare, “The collaboration further cements his place among country music’s most exciting young voices.”
The release follows a string of high-profile collaborations, including Charles Wesley Godwin’s “Hey There Son” and Diplo’s “Saving This Bottle.”
An electric live performer, Flores will continue to tour through the fall with his extensive Drive All Night Tour, which includes stops at Nashville’s The Truth, Albany’s Empire Live, and Pittsburgh’s Citizens Live at The Wylie, among others.
In addition to the headline dates, Flores will join The Red Clay Strays, Koe Wetzel, Turnpike Troubadours, and Teddy Swims for select dates this year. See below for the complete itinerary.
The upcoming performances follow recent shows with George Strait and Cody Johnson, as well as standout sets at Bonnaroo and Stagecoach, where he was joined by The Fray’s former frontman Isaac Slade for an “incredible,” according to Country Chord, performance of “How To Save A Life.”
Scared of Heights follows Flores’ first live album, Live At Cain’s Ballroom, as well as his acclaimed 2024 full-length debut album, Welcome to the Plains.
The album was released to overwhelming attention and led Flores to be featured on NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk Concert” series, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, CBS Mornings’ “Saturday Sessions,” and NPR’s All Things Considered.
Born and raised in Oklahoma, the Mexican American artist has established himself as one of country music’s most vital voices.
Most recently, Flores received the Rising Star Award from the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in front of a sold-out crowd at Stillwater’s Boone Pickens Stadium, joining artists such as The All-American Rejects, Kings of Leon, Carrie Underwood, and Blake Shelton.
He has also been recognized as one of Rolling Stone’s 25 “Future of Music” artists, received the PLUS1 Rising Star Award, earned a nomination for Emerging Act of the Year at the 2024 Americana Honors & Awards, was selected as Amazon’s Breakthrough Artist of the Year, was included in Spotify’s Hot Country Class of 2024 and CMT’s Listen Up class, and made his Grand Ole Opry debut.
Additionally, Flores has garnered more than 1.4 billion streams to date, saw his breakout single “Please Don’t Go” climb the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, and had his song “Before I Do,” with Jake Kohn, featured on the soundtrack for the film Twisters.
