(AUDIO) AS A KID, MIDLAND’S JESS CARSON HELPED GET OTHER FAMILIES READY FOR CHRISTMAS

Jess Carson of Midland has something in common with Taylor Swift, in that they both grew up on a Christmas tree farm.  Because of that, Jess’ memories of Christmas are a little different, because he and his family were such a central part of other families getting ready to celebrate the holiday.  “Christmastime was actually a lot of hard work,” says Jess.  “But it was a joy to provide Christmas trees to all those homes and know that they were being the centerpiece of people’s families and the center of their Christmas.”

Jess and the guys from Midland have been working hard all year long, but fortunately they’ll have some time off at the holidays to spend with their families and celebrate heading into the New Year with their latest single, “Burn Out,” sitting in the top 15 on the charts, and continuing to climb.
