About Flatland Cavalry:
Flatland Cavalry—frontman and chief songwriter Cleto Cordero, guitarist Reid Dillon, bassist Jonathan Saenz, drummer Jason Albers, and fiddle player Wesley Hall—has been stretching their legs across the country this past year after honing their craft and voice in the music boomtown of Lubbock, Texas. Their latest album Homeland Insecurity finds Flatland further evolving as musicians and storytellers. They continue to expand their sonic palettes while remaining true to those defining characteristics that made them rising standouts years ago. On their previous releases, Come May and Humble Folks, Cordero and company harnessed untethered emotions, feel-good rhythms, and simple raw energy to make it into the hearts of fans and critics. For more information, visit www.flatlandcavalry.com.
About Triston Marez:
Country singer and Houston native Triston Marez’s sound isn’t just centered around the crying steel or prominent fiddles that often go hand in hand with the rolling plains or legendary dancehalls that come to mind when thinking about country music – they’re part of a way of life for the 22-year-old. Marez’s debut EP, That Was All Me, showcases Marez’s rich vocals telling tales of long nights, former flames and new love with a relatable honesty. On the EP, Marez’s influences – Chris Ledoux, Aaron Watson and Cody Johnson – weave throughout a collection of pure country music. As a member of a musical family from Oklahoma known for their bluegrass and fiddle talents, Marez started playing guitar at age six. For more information, visit www.tristonmarezofficial.com.

Oct. 24 marks World Polio Day, an international day aimed at raising awareness about the poliovirus — a debilitating and sometimes life-threatening disease that mainly affects children under five years old.
Great strides have been made towards eradicating polio, and cases have been reduced by 99.9% since the introduction of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988. Now just two countries, Pakistan and Afghanistan, remain endemic with polio. But nevertheless, awareness and immunization programs around polio remain critical to achieving polio eradication by 2023.
