About Midland
Footloose and free, working hard and drinking harder, always riding into the sunset or sunrise, GRAMMY-nominated trio Midland makes country music feel viscerally alive and timeless, with songs for people to drink, swing, love and, yes, lose to. Name inspired by a Dwight Yoakam song, the Dripping Springs, Texas-born trio channels a distinctly 21st century post-modern traditionalism, recapturing that classic country essence through thick harmonies, steel guitars and a worn-in cool that has made their music a dive bar staple worldwide. Honed in barrooms, it’s a sound that’s been imitated but never duplicated since their now 5X PLATINUM, No. 1 “Drinkin’ Problem.”
For Mark Wystrach, Cameron Duddy and Jess Carson, music isn’t just something to play in your car. It envelopes their aesthetics, from the Nudie Cohen-inspired rhinestone suits, their Insolito Tequila and Kingsmaker cigar line to their album-focused musical explorations and lean, song-forward live presentation. From head-turning debut On The Rocks through the Billboard Top Country Albums chart-topping Let It Roll and into The Last Resort: Greetings From and 2024’s Barely Blue, Midland has built a catalog that bridges conceptual ambition with roots-driven songwriting, continuing through projects like the origin-story soundtrack The Sonic Ranch (recorded at the historic Texas studio) and Live From The Palomino. Alongside “Drinkin’ Problem,” their catalog also includes PLATINUM-certified “Burn Out” and GOLD-certified favorites including “Cheatin’ Songs,” “Make A Little” and “On The Rocks.” The band’s commitment to the sounds, stories and places that define country music persists in Stages, out June 12 via Blue Highway Records. Braiding Laurel Canyon country-rock, Texas outliers, and a shot of vintage Nashville, the project pulls together the many phases of their journey, further staking their claim as one of country’s most engaging acts.
