Clint Black & Midland

Clint Black has one of the most storied careers in modern music. He surged to superstardom as part of the fabled Class of '89, reaching #1 with five consecutive singles from his triple-platinum debut, Killin' Time. He followed that with the triple-platinum Put Yourself in My Shoes, and then a string of platinum and gold albums throughout the '90s. Perhaps most impressively, Clint wrote or co-wrote every one of his more than three dozen chart hits, including "A Better Man," "Killin’ Time," "When My Ship Comes In," "A Good Run of Bad Luck," "Summer's Comin'," "Like the Rain," and "Nothin' But the Taillights," part of a catalog that produced 22 #1 singles and made him one of the most successful singer/songwriters of the modern era.

Along the way, Clint has sold over 20 million records, earned more than a dozen gold and platinum awards in the U.S. and Canada including a GRAMMY, landed nearly two dozen major awards and nominations, earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and received the prestigious BMI Icon Award at the 73rd annual BMI Country Awards in Nashville on November 18, 2025, recognizing his significant and lasting influence on music and his role in shaping 90s country music. In addition to touring across North America, Clint hosted his own talk show, Talking in Circles, on Circle TV.

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 5X 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 in Stages, out June 12 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.
