Ahead of dates opening for Mitski and a slot on his home state’s Born & Raised festival, Oklahoma songwriter Wyatt Flores plays an intimate show for anyone who likes to say they saw an artist when.

With a piercing vocal a la Tyler Childers and an impeccable ear for harmony, the 24-year-old Mexican-American is an Island/Universal Records signee who represents hope for mainstream country and is in town as part of a short spring run with just three Florida dates—including this one at Crowbar—and another at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry House.

Tickets to see Wyatt Flores play Crowbar in Ybor City on Thursday, Jan. 25 start at $22.
