Americana Band Midland Returns with Album in June

Midland's new album Stages drops June 12 via Blue Highway Records. Pre-add / pre-order / pre-save HERE.

“We’ve gone so many places and done so many things,” shares bassist/vocalist Cameron Duddy, “I think we got to that place in the road where we wanted to pull it all together. The title is really a tribute to all the places where we’ve made our stand, but it’s also about all the phases and stages we’ve been through to get here.”

“And the more you dig into country’s roots, the more there is to work with,” adds frontman Mark Wystrach. “We’ve always had real respect for the original Texas and California country, so this album lets us pull all that through the songs we’ve written and found to really focus on what matters to us.”

Produced by Trent Willmon (Cody Johnson), Stages includes a cover of the SteelDrivers (and Gary Allan’s) “Drinkin’ Dark Whiskey,” while “Up In Texas,” enlists Clint Black.

“Nashville, Texas, California, everywhere in between; we’ve been in a pick-up, then a van and finally a bus – it’s all in these songs,” says guitarist/vocalist Jess Carson. “The road dust, sweat, music listened to, it all seeps into who we are and what we do.”

The latest track released is “Shooting Memories with Tequila,” following "Marlboro Man," "Drinkin’ Dark Whiskey," and "I Wish You Would (with Mackenzie Carpenter)."
