Launching to rave reviews from notable outlets such as the Los Angeles Times and Rolling Stone Country, "On the Rocks" was declared "the year's best Country album" by Washington Post. The album earned the No. 1 position on Billboard's Top Country Album Sales chart upon release. Their debut No. 1 single "Drinkin' Problem," which offers an intentional nod to Country music reminiscent of the 1970s and 80s, earned the band their first Grammy Awards nominations for Best Country Song and Best Country Duo/Group Performance. Midland was also named New Vocal Group of the Year at the 2018 ACM Awards and were nominated for three CMA Awards including Vocal Group of the Year, Single of the Year for "Drinkin' Problem" and New Artist of the Year.

With a growing string of hit albums, #1 songs, awards and a decade of winning fans all across the country under his belt, Travis Collins continues to cement his footprint as a mainstay on the Australian music landscape. He is as well-known for his masterful guitar playing and powerhouse vocals as he is for his depth of song-writing and high energy live performances.
