Reigning ACM New Vocal Group of the Year Midland—the trio comprised of Mark Wystrach, Cameron Duddy and Jess Carson—treated industry insiders and some lucky fans to a free pop-up show at the Country Music Hall of Fame on Feb. 12.

The trio performed a number of tunes from their 2017 debut album, On the Rocks, including Grammy-nominated “Drinkin’ Problem,” “Make a Little” and their current Top 10 single, “Burn Out.” In addition, the guys covered Jerry Reed’s “East Bound and Down” and Bruce Springsteen’s “Tougher Than the Rest,” a tune that The Boss wrote and featured on his 1987 album, Tunnel of Love.

Midland also shared the lead single, “Mr. Lonely,” from their upcoming sophomore album, which is expected to drop in the coming months.

Check out the video of “Mr. Lonely” below.
