ABOUT CLINT BLACK

Clint Black surged to superstardom as part of the fabled Class of 1989, 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 1990s. Perhaps most impressively, Clint wrote or co-wrote every one of his more than three dozen chart hits, part of a catalog that produced 22 #1 and 31 top ten singles, making him one of the most successful singer/songwriters of the modern era. 2025 BMI ICON AND GRAMMY WINNER Clint has sold over 20 million records, earned more than a dozen gold and platinum awards in the US and Canada, landed nearly two dozen major awards and nominations, and earned a star on both the Music City and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In addition to his music career, Clint has starred in numerous films and television shows and hosted Talking in Circles with Clint Black, which ran for more than five seasons. Most recently, he released his long awaited memoir, Killin' Time: My Life and Music, and served as co-executive producer of the Lifetime original movie When I Said I Do, inspired by his hit song of the same name. He is currently being honored by the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum with Clint Black: The Hard Way On Purpose, a career-spanning exhibition celebrating his enduring impact on country music.

ABOUT MIDLAND

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.
