Frontier Touring is excited to announce Alabama-born country crooner Kashus Culpepper will join Wyatt Flores as special guest on his upcoming Bucking Bin Chicken Tour.  

Both Wyatt and Kashus delivered highlight sets at CMC Rocks 2025 and will hit the road together in February for Wyatt’s debut Australian headline tour, which saw second shows added when tickets went on sale to meet demand. Kashus will join for all shows except The Forum in Melbourne on Saturday 14 February.  

Born and raised in Oklahoma, Wyatt Flores has established himself as one of country music’s most vital voices. In October 2024 he released his eagerly anticipated full-length debut album, Welcome To The Plains (Island Records). The album’s release capped off a breakout 2024 for Flores, who was recognised as one of Rolling Stone’s 25 ‘Future of Music’ artists, received 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. Flores has garnered over 575 million streams to date, had his song ‘Before I Do’ with Jake Kohn featured on the soundtrack for the Twisters movie, performed an NPR Tiny Desk Concert, and released his first live album Live At Cain’s Ballroom.

A reverent purveyor of Southern music - country, soul, blues, folk, and rock – Kashus Culpepper's husky, sandpaper growl bellows like a freight train over self-penned stories that are as raw and real as they are haunting. During 2020's global pandemic Culpepper picked up a guitar and started learning cover songs to play at barrack bonfires in Rota, Spain during his deployment with the U.S. Navy. Covers soon became originals, and once he landed home on American shores, Kash played dive bars up and down the Mississippi Gulf Coast, making a name for himself with the fresh-yet-reminiscent music that oozes from his very being. Crashing into prominence now, Culpepper has already sold-out headline club shows and opened for sound pioneers like Charles Wesley Godwin, Charley Crockett, and Leon Bridges. 

With Nashville taking notice, Culpepper found a musical home at Big Loud Records and has released songs including: ‘Broken Wing Bird (feat. Sierra Ferrell)’, ‘Southern Man (feat. Marcus King)’, ‘Man Of His Word’, ‘Jenni’, and ‘After Me?’. Kashus has received significant early acclaim including being named one of GRAMMY.com’s ‘25 Artists to Watch in 2025’, Apple Music Zane Lowe’s ‘25 Artists for ’25’, and a 2025 Amazon Music ‘Bonfire Artist to Watch’, with John Mayer praising him as "as good as it gets."
