The two-time Grammy-nominated band MIDLAND stands for the revival of the authentic country sound - a musical journey that brings the vastness of the Western Plains and the legendary honky-tonk bars of Texas back to life. Their platinum-selling hit "Drinkin' Problem" caused a worldwide sensation and laid the foundation for their highly acclaimed albums "On The Rocks" and "Let It Roll", which went straight to No. 1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums. It's no wonder that renowned media such as Rolling Stone and Vogue have celebrated the trio with enthusiasm. Now the celebrated band is finally coming back to Germany: on August 29, MIDLAND will bring their unmistakable retro country sound and their rousing live show to Hamburg. An evening that no country music fan should miss.
Formed at a friend's wedding, the trio around frontman and guitarist Mark Wystrach, bassist Cameron Duddy and lead guitarist Jess Carson combine classic country sounds with a modern twist that will delight country fans of all generations. Their sound, characterized by polyphonic harmonies, melancholy melodies, clever lyrics and the unmistakable steel guitar, was perfected in the legendary Sonic Ranch Studios in Texas. Since then, the band has set impressive milestones with their musical vision: sold-out shows at the Houston Rodeo, legendary nights at the iconic Billy Bob's in Fort Worth and an exclusive reopening of the legendary Palomino Club in North Hollywood.
Their number 1 debut album "On The Rocks" from 2017 marked the beginning of an impressive success story. With the release of "Let It Roll" two years later, MIDLAND cemented their status as one of the most exciting country bands of the moment. The albums "The Sonic Ranch" (2021), "The Last Resort: Greetings From" (2022) and their latest work "Barely Blue" (2024) impressively demonstrate how the trio has evolved from a celebrated bar act to an internationally sought-after headlining band - with an unmistakable sound that gives goosebumps at every live performance.
And best of all: MIDLAND are bringing their irresistible retro country sound back to Germany! After their performance at this year's C2C: Country to Country Festival in Berlin on March 8, Hamburg audiences can look forward to a very special concert highlight in late summer. Whether you're a long-time country fan or a curious music discoverer - MIDLAND deliver a live experience not to be missed.
