Flatland Cavalry’s fan-favorite song, “A Life Where We Work Out,” featuring Kaitlin Butts has been certified RIAA Gold, their first RIAA certification. In celebration of the milestone, the band was surprised with a plaque during their sold-out headline debut at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium this past Saturday. 

The certification adds to a landmark year for the band, who released their acclaimed new album, Wandering Star, this past fall via Interscope Records—their first release in partnership with the label (stream/purchase here). Produced by Dwight A. Baker (Josh Abbott Band, Pat Green), the album is a collection of country anthems and thoughtful ballads that further elevate the band’s signature musicianship and vivid storytelling.

Of the record, The Wall Street Journal praised, “a clear musical point of view, original melodies, mature confidence in portraying romantic matters, and increasingly fresh, distinctive lyrics…a straightforward, upbeat electrified country-rock band,” while Rolling Stone declared, “Flatland Cavalry are promising to make days a little brighter wherever they go.” With the release, the band earned two #1 singles at Texas Country Radio (“Gettin’ By” and “A Cowboy Knows How”) and garnered over 290 million streams to date across platforms. Additionally, their track, “Mountain Song,” was also recently featured in the hit television series, “Yellowstone.” Known for their electric live performances, the band has toured relentlessly these past several years including numerous sold-out headline dates as well as shows with Willie Nelson, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis, Midland and more.
