Midland

About

Whiskey-soaked nostalgia and impeccably tailored Nudie suits: Midland isn’t just playing country; they’re *living* it. This Texas-based trio, composed of Mark Wystrach, Cameron Duddy, and Jess Carson, resurrects the outlaw spirit of the ‘70s with a modern sheen. Midland’s sound is a potent cocktail of honky-tonk swagger, Bakersfield twang, and shimmering soft rock harmonies, drawing heavily from the Eagles, Merle Haggard, and Dwight Yoakam. Their breakthrough single, "Drinkin' Problem," launched them into the stratosphere, earning Grammy nominations and establishing their signature blend of retro cool and authentic songwriting. Subsequent albums, like "On the Rocks" and "Let It Roll," solidified their position as innovators within the contemporary country landscape. Midland doesn’t just replicate the past; they reimagine it with sharp wit and undeniable musicianship. Beyond their music, Midland has cultivated a distinctive visual aesthetic, embracing vintage fashion and a world-weary persona that resonates with audiences craving authenticity. They’ve toured relentlessly, sharing stages with artists like Tim McGraw and Little Big Town, further cementing their place in country music’s new guard. Continuing to evolve their sound while staying true to their roots, Midland is currently working on new material, promising a fresh chapter in their ongoing sonic exploration of the American heartland.
