Rodeo Austin w/ Midland

Midland’s polished honky-tonk twang hit a sweet spot on country radio with the Central Texas transplants’ 2017 debut LP On the Rocks and heavy-rotation single “Drinkin’ Problem.” Mark Wystrach, Cameron Duddy, and Jess Carson look like a 21st century Flying Burrito Brothers and sing like a Nineties neo-traditional country revival with just enough Red Dirt to scuff their boots. Midland’s sophomore LP lands later this year. – Doug Freeman
