Wyatt Flores’ star-making week in Nashville at The Ryman, Opry, more: Behind the scenes

Before closing his country music star-making 2024 with back-to-back nights at Tulsa's legendary Cain's Ballroom, 23-year-old Stillwater, Oklahoma native Wyatt Flores spent a week performing around Music City. Included in those appearances were a pair of sold-out nights at Ryman Auditorium, appearing as a guest for Georgia-born sister trio The Castellows as they opened for Little Big Town, plus joining nearly a dozen performers — most of whom, like himself, all well south of the age of 30 — at the Grand Ole Opry for their 2024 Nextstage class concert.
