(SACRAMENTO, CA) - Throw on your cowboy boots and get ready to line dance in your seat as Midland brings their signature country sound to the California State Fair as part of the Toyota Concert Series on the Sky River Casino Stage on Tuesday, July 21.
Fans can scoot on down and dance along to the sounds of the GRAMMY®-nominated country trio. Known for their smooth harmonies and throwback country style, Midland has become one of the leading voices in the revival of traditional country music.
Formed in Dripping Springs, Texas, Midland front man Mark Wystrach, bassist/vocalist Cameron Duddy, and guitarist/vocalist Jess Carson channels the spirit of classic country with modern flair. Their breakout 5X Platinum hit “Drinkin’ Problem” launched the trio into the national spotlight and was followed by fan favorites like the Platinum-certified “Burn Out” and Gold-certified hits “Make a Little” and “Cheatin’ Songs.”
Critically acclaimed albums including On the Rocks, Let It Roll, The Last Resort, and Barely Blue have earned praise from major outlets such as Entertainment Weekly, Rolling Stone, NPR, and Vogue. Known for electrifying live shows, Midland has packed legendary venues and sold out performances from the Houston Rodeo to Fort Worth’s iconic Billy Bob’s Texas.
“Midland’s throwback country sound brings the perfect mix of honky-tonk energy and modern hits,” said Tom Martinez, CEO of Cal Expo and the California State Fair. “It’s going to be a great night for fans to dance in their seats and experience the kind of live music that makes summer nights at the Fair unforgettable.”
