Stillwater, Oklahoma—The 34th Annual Calf Fry taking place April 30-May 2 at the Tumbleweed Arena in Stillwater, OK has announced their headliners for their 2026 Festival. 

Josh Meloy, Flatland Cavalry, Charles Wesley Godwin are all headlining this prestigious event. 

 

Josh Meloy, an Oklahoma native and storyteller at heart, will capture your imagination with every song. From wearing out the dive bars of Oklahoma to more recently playing the historic Ryman Auditorium, Meloy has finally captured a national audience. With a brand new album “Where You Came From” released in June of 2024, he shows no signs of slowing down.   With over 3.1 million listens on Spotify and 243,215 followers, Meloy has built up an international audience who yearns for every song.  Josh Crutchmer of Rolling Stone called Meloy “a rising Red Dirt country star.” 

 

Flatland Cavalry has built a reputation as “one of the most dynamic presences in country music” (Rolling Stone) with their signature “Easy on the ears, heavy on the heart” sound. In 2024, the sextet celebrated 10 years together with Flatland Forever, an acclaimed album that pays tribute to their journey, revisiting fan favorites while introducing new songs that showcase how far they’ve come.  The past year has been full of milestones for the Nashville and Texas-based band. They earned their first ACM Award nomination for Group of the Year, achieved their first RIAA Gold certification for their breakout single “A Life Where We Work Out,” and made their mark in film and television with contributions to the Twisters and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes soundtracks, as well as featured placements on the hit television series Yellowstone and Landman. Their relentless touring schedule reached new heights, including sold-out headline performances at Fort Worth’s Dickies Arena and the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre. 

 Since first emerging in 2014, Flatland Cavalry has racked up seven #1 singles on Texas Country Radio and amassed more than five hundred million streams. Along the way, they’ve shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Jordan Davis, Midland, and more proving that their brand of storytelling and musicianship resonates far beyond their roots. 

 Flatland Cavalry is made up of Cleto Cordero (vocals, acoustic guitar), Jason Albers (drums, percussion), Jonathan Saenz (bass), Reid Dillon (electric guitar), Wesley Hall (fiddle), and Adam Gallegos (piano, organ, keys, mandolin, banjo). 

 

Charles Wesley Godwin has been on a steady upward climb following his beloved debut album, 2019’s Seneca. Alongside his longtime band, the Allegheny High, the musician has developed a reputation as a thrilling and beautifully raucous live performer. Godwin has appeared on ESPN’s Sportscenter, performed on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and CBS Saturday Sessions. 2026 will see Godwin release his 4th full-length album, as well as a slew of tour dates and festivals, including Stagecoach and Under The Big Sky, amongst others.
