Big Machine’s Midland is taking it back to the beginning with their forthcoming documentary, Midland: The Sonic Ranch.
Looking back five years before landing on country radio with 2017’s platinum-certified and double Grammy-nominated single, “Drinkin’ Problem,” the film is accompanied by an album, which includes songs they recorded at their initial sessions.
With never-before-seen footage and original recordings, the film dives into Mark Wystrach, Jess Carson and Cameron Duddy’s origin story and their trajectory from recording at Texas’ Sonic Ranch, to selling out the Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, packing Billy Bob’s for multiple nights and re-opening North Hollywood’s storied Palomino Club.
“When we went back to just look at how we started, we couldn’t believe what was on film,” shared Wystrach. “These recordings capture three friends, at a live-in studio in the desert, trying to make a dream come true.”
CMT will premiere Midland: The Sonic Ranch documentary, which was directed by Duddy and Riverside Entertainment’s Brian Loschiavo, on 3/19 across ViacomCBS platforms.
Additionally, the band will embark on their Back To The Minors Tour later this month. Playing outdoor shows across Texas, the shows will also be livestreamed. For more info, click here.
