Info for The Sonic Ranch

ACM Award-winning country band Midland is giving fans an intimate look at their formation and earliest sessions in a new documentary, Midland: The Sonic Ranch, and an accompanying soundtrack, The Sonic Ranch Sessions – both out March 19.

“In the spring of 2014 we took 11 days out of our very separate lives to head down to the Sonic Ranch, a studio nestled along the dusty American side of the Rio Grande outside El Paso, Texas,” recalls the band in a statement. “Midland was not so much a band as an experiment fueled by an assortment of spirits – but mostly tequila and the possibilities painted in our imaginations. We had no record label or manager and we had never played a show together. These recordings capture three friends, at a live-in studio in the desert, trying to make a dream come true.”

The resulting songs from those formative days will be available for the very first time as The Sonic Ranch Sessions. Of the album’s 14 tracks, only one selection ever made it to an album (“Fourteen Gears,” which was later re-recorded for 2019’s Let it Roll).

Midland
Hailing from Dripping Springs, TX lead vocalist Mark Wystrach fronts Midland’s rich sound that is rounded out with lead guitarist Jess Carson and bass player Cameron Duddy. Rooted in tradition in both sound and style, the trio initially garnered attention playing clubs in the region. Their critically-acclaimed sophomore album LET IT ROLL (Big Machine Records) earned the No. 1 position on Billboard’s Top Country Album Sales chart upon release as lead single “Mr. Lonely” nears the Top 20 at Country radio. Receiving praise from outlets such as Rolling Stone, Variety, NPR and Entertainment Weekly among others, the trio is also nominated for New Artist and Vocal Group of the Year at the CMA Awards in November. Wystrach, Carson and Duddy all played an integral role in writing the 14-track album with Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. The album was produced by Dann Huff, McAnally and Osborne and was a follow-up to the critically acclaimed debut album, ON THE ROCKS (Big Machine Records). Launching in 2017 with rave reviews, ON THE ROCKS was declared “the year’s best Country album” by Washington Post. Their DOUBLE PLATINUM-certified chart-topping debut “Drinkin’ Problem,” which offers an intentional nod to Country music reminiscent of the 1970s and 80s, earned the band their first GRAMMY® Awards nominations for Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Midland was also named New Vocal Group of the Year at the 2018 ACM Awards. Midland is currently on the road for their global headlining LET IT ROLL TOUR through the rest of 2019.
