New Album for The Mid North

Scott Collins has announced the pending release of a second album from The Mid North called “Tales From a Mountian“. Incidentally, their first album “You Were Right About The Stars” is one of the highest selling albums on the AustralianBluegrass.com’s online shop.

The album is due to be released in late November 2014.

The Mid North are playing at Dorrigo Folk and Bluegrass Festival this weekend, the We Care Festival in Coffs Harbour Sat 1 Nov and the Mullum Music Festival on Sat 25 Nov.

The video clip below was filmed at a 10th wedding anniversary where guests were asked to come dressed as a bride or groom. Scott took advantage to the costume spectacle to film the event for the Delta Mae sound track. Delta Mae was only written two weeks before the gig. This meant that they had to wait until the song was recorded before they could properly edit the video clip.

Here is a glimpse of Delta Mae one of the new songs from The Mid North’s new album “Tales from a Mountain”:
