The connection was only strengthened when they found themselves jamming with Cameron onstage later that week at his rehearsal dinner. There, casual friends Cameron and Jess formed a musical and personal bond while picking songs together on Jess's cabin's front porch. "Where is this story going? Let's paint it." It's no coincidence then that it was in an especially scenic setting where the band first came together - at Cameron's wedding in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. We paint that big picture and go to that place," says Mark. ![]() "We write with a very visual storytelling approach. This is music made for wide-open skies, endless deserts and wondering where the road is going to take you next. Midland - the guys took their name from a Dwight Yoakam song - excel in setting a mood, transporting the listener to another place and time. Their songs are intoxicating country sung with the twang of George Strait. Made up of singer Mark Wystrach, lead guitarist Jess Carson and bass player Cameron Duddy, Midland is the embodiment of Seventies California country, all smooth Eagles harmonies and heart-on-your-sleeve lyrics. Which is what makes Midland, a trio of friends based in Dripping Springs, Texas, so undeniably refreshing. With all the chest-thumping going on in Nashville today, where bluster and swagger have replaced heart and soul, you half expect some of country music's male stars to be sporting bruises. Their #London date is at the O2 SBE on December 6th. They are back for a UK tour in November & December, so please check them out live if you can. Midland were a big hit at C2C 2018 and played a fantastic headline set at Omeara shortly after as well. We have chosen a wonderful acoustic version for you to enjoy :) Their debut 'On The Rocks' is a great and for all travelling musicians it makes a fantastic road trip album as well. Our LCM #SongOfTheDay is their latest single 'Burn Out'. ![]() We have been championing their music since the release of their debut EP back in the autumn of 2016. If you are a big fans of the Eagles then you really need to check out our next LCM featured artists, the excellent Austin based band Midland. ![]()
