American country-heartthrob, Wyatt Flores, has at last brought his highly anticipated debut headline tour, the Bucking Bin Chicken Tour, to Aussie shores. After the release of three EP’s released between 2023-2025, his debut studio album titled Welcome To The Plains in 2024, as well as his standout performance at Queensland’s CMC Rocks, which is one of the state’s biggest country and soul music festivals, in 2025, Wyatt’s music had completely taken over the hearts of Australian country music fans and received massive demand from audiences to come back, but next time on a headline tour. With a stacked setlist featuring multiple hits and fan favourites, from “Don’t Wanna Say Goodnight” to “Break My Bones, the Bucking Bin Chicken Tour took place over two sold-out nights at Fortitude Valley’s “Fortitude Music Hall,” located in the heart of Brisbane City.
Joining Wyatt as a special guest on tour was 26-year-old Kashus Culpepper, a country-soul singer hailing from southern Alabama. Kashus is defined by his distinctive, husky growl combined with his raw, emotional lyricism that has captured the hearts of fans around the USA, he is steadily carving his name into the cement that is the music industry. Amassing millions of streams on Spotify alone across multiple singles released in 2024 and 2025, Kashus released his heavily anticipated debut album titled Act I, an 18-track album that combines multiple of his past tracks with fresh, new material never before heard by audiences.
We at Loudspeaker Collective want to express a massive thank you to Kashus’s and Wyatt’s team for the coordination and the opportunity to cover the show.
