MUSIC VIDEO

WIDESPREAD ACCLAIM

SPRING TOUR DATES CONFIRMED

January 29, 2025—The official music video for Wyatt Flores’ song, “Little Town,” is out now. Filmed in Beaver, OK, the video was directed by Rahul Chakraborty and produced by Ryan Magnani. Watch/share HERE.

Reflecting on the video, Flores shares, “The panhandle of Oklahoma is where a lot of my family comes from, and Beaver is a great representation of what a true little town looks and feels like. When it came to this song and video, the inspiration came from me missing places like this and how often they get overlooked. Beaver may not seem like much if you’re just driving through it, but if you get the chance to stop, look around, and talk to someone you’ll understand what I’m talking about. The grass isn’t always greener on the other side, sometimes it’s right in front of you.”

Additionally, Director of the Oklahoma Film + Music Office Jeanette Stanton, comments, “Alongside our partners at the Tulsa Office of Film, Music, Arts & Culture, we’re grateful to have collaborated with Island Records in hosting an open call for local filmmakers to direct this newest music video by Oklahoma’s own Wyatt Flores. This opportunity allowed us to not only showcase the depth of the incredible film talent we have in-state, but also the localized community support we have throughout our statewide communities like Beaver, where this project was lensed. We appreciate the team’s commitment to bringing this production to Oklahoma, and the wonderful intersection between film and music.”

“Little Town” is from Flores’ widely acclaimed full-length debut album, Welcome to the Plains, which was released this past fall via Island Records (stream/purchase here). Produced by Beau Bedford (Orville Peck, Shane Smith & The Saints), Welcome To The Plains details Flores’ journey as he balances the struggle of leaving his hometown of Stillwater, OK with the highs and lows of life on the road.

In celebration of the new music, Flores was featured as part of NPR Music’s “Tiny Desk Concert” series, made his late-night television debut on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” performed on “CBS Saturday Morning” last month and spoke with NPR’s “All Things Considered.”
