Flatland Cavalry has had an impressive start to 2026. One of the milestones? They received a nomination for Group of the Year at the 61st Annual Academy of Country Music Awards.

The band also embarked on their headlining Work of Heart Tour, which rolls into The Old National Events Plaza in Evansville on Friday, June 12th. There, they will be joined by local group Sons of Habit, who are also making a huge name for themselves on some of the biggest stages in the country.

They've already had a huge year, Sons of Habit have been achieving one career milestone after another. Just last week, for instance, they appeared at the CMA Music Festival for the first time ever. Within hours, they were taking the stage at Railbird Festival in Lexington. While on stage there, they learned they have been invited to make their debut at the legendary Grand Ole Opry in Nashville on Friday, August 14th.
