Hailing from Dripping Springs, TX lead vocalist Mark Wystrach fronts Midland’s rich sound that is rounded
out with lead guitarist Jess Carson and bass player Cameron Duddy. Rooted in tradition in both sound and
style, the trio initially garnered attention playing clubs in the region. Their critically-acclaimed freshman
album, ON THE ROCKS (Big Machine Records), features 13 tracks with songwriting credits from each
member alongside hitmakers Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. Launching to rave reviews from notable
outlets such as the Los Angeles Times and Rolling Stone Country, ON THE ROCKS was declared “the year’s
best Country album” by Washington Post. The Dann-Huff-produced album earned the No. 1 position on
Billboard’s Top Country Album Sales chart upon release. Their debut No. 1 single “Drinkin’ Problem,”
which offers an intentional nod to Country music reminiscent of the 1970s and 80s, earned the band their
first GRAMMY® Awards nominations for Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/Group Performance.
Midland was also named New Vocal Group of the Year at the 2018 ACM Awards. The band just released
“Mr. Lonely,” the first single off their highly anticipated upcoming second album. While the song has
quickly gained a following and was touted as most added at Country radio upon release, they also released
the video which stars acclaimed actor Dennis Quad starring as “Mr. Lonely.”
