Midland is up for Vocal Group of the Year at next week’s ACM Awards, and it doesn’t sound like they’ll be super upset if they lose this year.

Cameron Duddy says the nomination serves as “validation,” calling it a “tip of the hat,” from people they respect.

Mark Wystrach adds, “Anytime we’re getting recognized like this, it means that we’re getting more exposure and more and more people are gonna hear Midland,” noting, “It’s great to be in the mix and in the talk, and getting nominated is like a win already.”
