CURRENT SINGLE: “Longneck Way to Go” w/ Jon Pardi
Before the guys in Midland found success in the music business, they all paid their dues with ordinary jobs. Cameron pretty much stuck to working in one particular type of restaurant, and Mark was actually on his first job with his twin brother when they were just kids.

Cameron Duddy – “I worked at a bunch of pizza joints. I worked at like five restaurants, pizza joints, in my little hometown.”
Mark Wystrach – “My first job was washing dishes. I remember like, we thought it was so cool. We were 10 years old. We own a restaurant/bar/honky-tonk place, and we had these big weekends – the rodeo weekend and the race weekend in the little tiny town. 60,000 people show up for the weekend, and all this stuff. So, long story short, my parents couldn’t get anybody to wash dishes because it was so miserable, so hot, one of those old industrial dishwashers. My brother and I loved it. We cranked on the radio. We were so stoked just to be like a part of it. We’d sneak out to the bar and see all the Cowboys just gettin’ drunk and bar fights. It was cool.“
