To celebrate the inking of artist Wyatt Flores and his OEG label to Island, interested parties gathered in the Americana artist’s hometown of Stillwater, Okla., for this photo. You’ll note they’re wearing the familiar flower leis that are a staple of Oklahoma culture. Seen just before a traditional Stillwater repast of spam musubi and fresh papaya are (front row, l-r) OEG’s Tyler Woodward, Flores, OEG’s Braden Milford, counsel for OEG Chip Petree, Flores counsel Matt Cottingham, OEG’s Susan Owens and Island’s Eric Owens, Jordan Marsh and Austin Jenkins; (second row, l-r) musicians Austin Yankunus, Jaxon Humphrey and William Dyer.

Flores is also inked to OEG Management.

Island Co-President Justin Eshak issued the following quote: “We’re thrilled to welcome Wyatt and OEG to the Island Records family. It was clear from our first meeting that Wyatt is his own man. He possesses a singular vision and is purely motivated by his craft and connecting with fans. We’re honored to help him tell his unique story and achieve his goals.”
