GRAMMY® nominated traditional Country revivalists Midland are the sound of the Southwest, a trio of Texas trailblazers at the forefront of a sort of post-Urban Cowboy Country subgenre that’s spreading in popularity like wildfire. Front man Mark Wystrach, bassist / vocalist Cameron Duddy and guitarist / vocalist Jess Carson carve a singular lane with a relaxed, throwback sound that’s bred breakout hits like 5X Platinum “Drinkin’ Problem,” Platinum-certified “Burn Out,” and Gold-certified hits “Cheatin’ Songs,” “Make A Little,” and “On The Rocks.” Critically acclaimed albums like 2017 debut On The Rocks, Billboard chart-topping sophomore effort Let It Roll, 2022’s The Last Resort, and latest Barely Blue united fans of classic Country music and critics alike, with rousing endorsements from Entertainment Weekly, GQ, The Washington Post, Vogue, Esquire, Variety, Rolling Stone and NPR.
Born of Dripping Springs, Texas, the trio of artist-writer disciples of Tornillo, Texas’ storied Sonic Ranch have "never met an audience they couldn't conquer" (Rolling Stone), building a following that’s sold out the Houston Rodeo and Livestock Show, packed out multi-night stands at Ft. Worth’s iconic Billy Bob’s and re-opened North Hollywood’s legendary Palomino Club for one night only. Bringing listeners a resurgence of rich harmonies, sad melodies, tart, cheeky lyrics and steel guitar-dressed records, the retro-Nuevo trio has grown from bar band to an in-demand headliner. Midland is finalizing their next chapter of music now, previewed by their newest release, “Marlboro Man.”
