t’s been nearly a year since Wyatt Flores hit the road.
“I’ve learned more in the last 11 months than I could have ever imagined with success, heartbreak, and failure. It’s all a part of the journey,” Flores said.
His new EP, Life Lessons is a compilation of tales from being a 20-something growing into himself in a 18-passenger van next to some of his best friends.
“People say ‘oh my god you're so lucky, you get to be on stage in front of thousands of people’. But I wanted to show people what it’s like to be in the van,” Flores said on Tiktok live on the eve of the release.
“Good morning son, I hope you guys are on the road. Just calling to check on you and see where you’re at. I love you,” is the first sound you’ll hear on the opening track “Orange Bottles”. An archival voicemail that’s surely one of many, setting the stage for a harsh look at reality being a young man chasing dreams wherever they’ll take him.
