Logan Mize 4/11
Current Nashville rising star and Clearwater, KS native Logan Mize returns to the Emporia Granada April 11th along with The Plainsmen to make for a great night of Rockin' Country. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 the day of the show and are available at www.Emporiagranada.com or at the Granada Box Office (M-F 10-5)
Just listen to Logan's no-nonsense single "Used Up," a hit-the-road anthem for every guy who's endured a crushing breakup. Mize delivers it with raw candor, and gritty passion. It's no wonder the song was recently a "Highway Find" on Sirius XM's The Highway. You can catch the lyric video on his website, loganmize.com.
Making Nobody In Nashville, which is the follow-up to Mize's very independent, regional 2009 self-titled first effort, was a musically organic experience. The disc was released on Big Yellow Dog Music, the imprint of his publishing company. It is an earthy project that puts the emphasis on Mize's voice, guitar playing and songs. Unpolished gems include "State Of Your Heart," "Hey Carolina," "Sunflowers," "Good Life" and the autobiographical "Rock N Roll Band."
There are no artifices. Mize's real guy-next-door demeanor is exactly the reason why Nobody In Nashville garnered immediate attention from Roughstock, The Boot, Billboard.com, Keepin' It Country, and M Music & Musicians magazine. He also has a fan in country and pop superstar LeAnn Rimes, who not only tweeted about Mize's new single, "Used Up," but also invited him to open her recent shows in Europe. Award-winning country vocal group Little Big Town also blew up Twitter with praise for Mize's "Used Up."
No stranger to touring, Mize delivers a blistering live show with his commanding onstage presence. He has opened shows for headlining household names such as Lady Antebellum, The Band Perry, Eric Church, Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels Band, Blake Shelton, Billy Currington and Pat Green to name a few.
His arms-open-wide philosophy extends into family, naturally. Mize, who is married to country singer-songwriter Jill Martin and has a 2-year-old son Lincoln, slowly soaked himself in the history of his great uncle Billy Mize. The elder Mize, now 84, is considered a pioneer in the Bakersfield country sound that emerged in California and was popularized by Buck Owens and Merle Haggard. Mize didn't learn of his revered kin until he was in his early 20s.
"When I found out about him I really researched the Bakersfield sound. Buck Owens was in Billy's band. He also got Merle Haggard recognized. He even co-founded the ACM (Academy of Country Music)."
