NASHVILLE, TN (June 12, 2026) – GRAMMY-nominated trio Midland release their critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Stages, via Blue Highway Records, today – listen HERE.

Produced by Trent Willmon, the 10-track record delivers another signature dose of the band’s “retro country eloquence” (The New York Times), paying homage, leaning in and having some fun. Whether a barnstorming take on The SteelDrivers (and Gary Allan’s) “Drinkin’ Dark Whiskey,” the name’n’location-checking reel “Up In Texas,” which enlists no less than Killin’ Time icon Clint Black, or closing high plains requiem and elegy for a cowboy, “Vaquero,” Midland inhabits these songs with a native ease.

“From the first time we sang together,” frontman Mark Wystrach recalls, “we had the same influences, the same sense of what mattered. That’s never wavered, only gotten stronger – and you can hear it on these songs.”

Released in tandem with the album today, the official music video for “Vaquero”brings the album’s closing track to life. Directed by Manuel Mancilla, the video pairs sweeping Southwestern imagery with the portrait of a cowboy (played by Ty Mitchell) who is watching the sun set on his golden years of roping and riding. With the timeless pull of a classic outlaw-country song, “Vaquero”finds Midland honoring the restless spirit of the West through the rolling stone heart of a time-worn cowboy. It’s a striking visual that captures the triumphs and complexities of a life dedicated to land and labor. Watch the all-new official music video for “Vaquero” HERE.

Fresh off a massive CMA Fest weekend, the trio drew capacity crowds across Nashville, both during their set at the festival’s Riverfront Stage, and to a packed rooftop of fans at their Stages preview event on Broadway. Midland celebrated the album’s release earlier this week with a performance of “Shooting Memories With Tequila” on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.” Watch the performance HERE.

The hard touring progressive country band heads back out on the road this summer, bringing Stages to fans around the world. Just announced, the trio will sit down for an in-depth conversation and performance at the GRAMMY Museum Los Angeles on July 14 – find tickets at GrammyMuseum.org. Midland joins Kacey Musgraves on the road as support on select dates this summer, before co-headlining a limited, eight-show run with Clint Blackthis fall.

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 6X 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 on Stages, out now 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.
