Midland will "Set it Straight"
Country is full of tall tales and legends. Midland will separate fact from fiction, every Wednesday on their new as they attempt to uncover the truth behind infamous stories of country music history.
The season premiere will feature Garth Brooks, as he joins Midland to unpack what really happened at the 1996 Fan Fair during his marathon meet-and-greet. Upcoming guests include Martina McBride, Darius Rucker, Wynonna Judd and Jake Brennan.
Midland lead vocalist Mark Wystrach said, "Set It Straight: Myths and Legends is a chance for us to dive into the fascinating folklore and fables in and around country music and gives us an excuse to hang and informally chat with some of our biggest musical and artistic heroes."
Midland bass player/vocalist Cameron Duddy added, "This is a real-life country Cinderella story: Martina McBride went from selling merch for Garth Brooks to opening for Garth Brooks seemingly overnight. Is it true? We had to talk to the legend herself to find out."

As if creating a couple of neo-traditional country albums wasn't enough, Midland temporarily reopened North Hollywood's famed Palomino club to record its 10-song live album. This act intentionally links Midland to Buck Owens, Merle Haggard, Linda Ronstadt and all the other luminaries that graced the original Palomino stage. Unlike Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and many other contemporary country acts, though, Midland's music wouldn't have sounded all that out of place during the ...
Midland is more magicians than musicians. When the trio came out with their omnipresent 2017 single "Drinkin' Problem," they pulled off their first trick: a brand-new band to radio who sounded like old friends.
