The trio met separately around Los Angeles, where Jess Carson and Cameron Duddy were in a number of bands through a number of years.[2] After Carson left L.A., Duddy and Mark Wystrach met and formed a country-rock band called The Young Whiskey.[3] The trio met up in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for Duddy's wedding in August 2013; both Wystrach and Carson acted as groomsmen.[4] As Duddy recalls the story, Carson and Wystrach arrived in Jackson Hole for the wedding a week early. After playing songs together on the front porch of Carson's cabin, they proposed starting a project together. Six months later, in January 2014, Duddy called Carson and Wystrach to suggest that they record some songs,[3] and they went to the Sonic Ranch recording studio in El Paso, TX to record for 10 days. As stated by Wystrach, "when we went to the Sonic Ranch, we became a band. We walked away believing in what had happened."[5][6] Wystrach and Duddy both moved with their families to Texas where Carson lived.[7] Midland take their name from a Dwight Yoakam song called "fair to midland". All of our music is an amalgamation of our musical influences, stated by Duddy , throw in some rock 'n' roll, some soul, some blues, and a heavy dose of country music.[8]
