"The Midland Band, "Reflections." Frank Zappa meets Steve Vai with just a little jazz in the mix. That’s the sound on “Reflections,” the impressive debut of The Midland Band. With Jake Reisdorff switching between keyboards and guitar, joining Tom Adelman on guitar and the rhythm section of bassist Scott Henggeler and drummer Anthony “Butch” Owens, The Midland Band has created an eight-song set of complex, turn-on-a-dime arranged songs that drive, fly and improvise. That isn't easy, and they make it seem simple. A couple of songs have vocals, but The Midland Band is primarily an instrumental band. It is really good, never missing a note or turn and delivering the music with flair and passion." By L. KENT WOLGAMOTT - Lincoln Journal Star

“The four members of The Midland Band have been playing together since the middle of 2008. With their progressive fusion jazz rock sound, they have created a significant fan base over the years. Their intense, high energy music also creates an atmosphere that is enticing to new listeners. This year, they've been hard at work and just released their debut album, Reflections, earlier this summer.” Bailey Foss - Hear Nebraska.org

The Midland Band is collaboration of like-minded individuals with one thing in common, energy. It's very noticeable on stage during their live performances and it's clear through listening to the tracks off of their debut album (Reflections, June 2012).

The four piece began playing together in the late Summer of 2008. Since then, the song writing has progressed and their song catalog has slowly morphed into a mosaic of different genres including Jazz Fusion, Progressive Rock, and Electronic. They've shared the stage with national touring acts such as Rusted Root, Tim Reynolds, Tauk, Spafford, Particle, Cornmeal, Mountain Sprout, Dirtfoot, Zoogma, Mungion, Arkansauce, Groovement, Dogs in a Pile and Wookiefoot, including sit-ins with members of TAUK and Karl Denson’s Tiny Universe.

Performing at such music festivals as Wakarusa (2010), Love Fest in the Midwest, Hullabaloo, Riverjam, Cats Out Under the Stars, Intents Fest, Norfolk Arts Festival, Mokan, Run for the Roses, and their own Power & Progress Festival.

Regionally they've shared the stage with many of Nebraska's finest such as Josh Hoyer, Kris Lager Band, Funk Trek, Blue Martian Tribe, Somasphere, and The Balance.

In 2012 the band saw the release of its first album and and the hosting of its first annual music festival. The Midland Band's Power and Progress Festival was started outside of Columbus Nebraska in early September and was very well received by the music community. Now in its 12th year of production the festival continues to grow and attract new music lovers and artists.
