**Mid America live at Eddie's Attic!**
Mid America is the Western folk rock duo of Mia Carruthers and Curtis Roush, a project born out of the mythology of the forgotten middle. Their name speaks to the wide-open spaces between coasts—the overlooked towns, unseen stories, and landscapes where endurance shapes identity. It is here, in the heartland’s paradox of emptiness and abundance, that their music finds its compass.
Carruthers and Roush hold a devotion to craft. At a time when music often prizes immediacy over depth, they look to the golden era of the 70s—when records were built with care, musicianship mattered, and live performance was its own form of truth. They are not purists, but innovators within a tradition, committed to the artistry of song while pushing it toward new horizons.
Their debut album, Moving Nowhere Incredibly Fast, wrestles with the tension of motion without arrival, of searching while standing still. The record blends tightly bound harmonies with cinematic guitars, evoking the sensation of memory stretching across highways and time.
On stage, Mid America carries these values into the present—trading verses, weaving harmonies, and offering performances that feel both intimate and immense. It is music made for the long road, the forgotten middle, and the enduring human spirit that travels through it.
Mid America is a Western folk-rock project from Mia Carruthers and Curtis Roush. The name points to both a geography and a feeling—the overlooked middle, where stories stretch wide and resilient across half-forgotten landscapes. Their music rises from that mythology: expansive but intimate, balancing grit with grace. Carruthers and Roush value the lost craft of record-making and the discipline of live performance, innovating within the sonic excellence forged in the 70s. Their debut, Moving Nowhere Incredibly Fast, explores the paradox of forward motion without arrival, with harmonies and guitars that shimmer like memories across the open road.
