CURRENT SINGLE: “Longneck Way to Go” w/ Jon Pardi
All three guys in Midland are married and have children, and apparently they have a lot of animals among the group as well. Lead singer Mark Wystrach shares what all of their wives have in common, and how that led to him learning to enjoy and appreciate conversations with a fish.
Midland – animal collections :31
Mark Wystrach – “All three of our wives are animal collectors, and it’s a bit of a problem. Our wives are obsessed with animals and collecting them. Thankfully, I have the smallest collection, literally and numerically of animals. I have three toy Aussie Shepherds, I have a pony named Dolly, and a tiny fish named Fire. She’s a beta fish. Fire’s a great fish. I didn’t understand it until my wife got the fish, and now I’m like, I have conversations. The fish allows me really to talk, there’s no interruptions, which I like, and I can just sit there and kind of wax poetically for hours at a time.”
After a short break from The Last Resort: Greetings From Tour for Thanksgiving, Midland will head to Hawaii for two shows, and then onto Australia, where they will finish up the year with eight shows Down Under.
