Cleto & Kaitlin Cordero - RLRM Podcast Ep. 23

Newlyweds Cleto Cordero and Kaitlin Cordero join us at Real Life Real Music for an unforgettable night!

Cleto and Kaitlin are both incredible songwriters and musicians in their own right, but when they come together, magic happens. A few months before Cleto began writing Flatland Cavalry’s first album, he had heard Kaitlin on the radio and was amazed by her voice. Later on, when the band decided that their song “A Life Where We Work Out,” could use a female’s touch, Kaitlin was the first person who popped into Cleto’s mind. The two were introduced through a mutual musician friend, and the rest is history, so it seems!

The two traded off singing songs, with Kaitlin performing some of her hits, including the chilling “White River”, along with a few other newly debuted songs she wrote during quarantine. Cleto played a list of Flatland Cavalry fan favorites, including “Stompin’ Grounds,” “Devil Off My Back” and many more. The two opened up about how their relationship started, telling the story of how they were once invited to a party that didn’t have any booze, so they searched until they found a bottle of honey wine. As the night went on and things got looser, that first seed of romance was planted. Later on, Cleto shows Kaitlin the song “Honeywine,” ensuring that it wasn’t really about her… but we all know it was!
