Watch Midland Cover Bruce Springsteen’s “Tougher Than the Rest” at Nash Country Kick-Off Party

One more night, one more round . . . The third annual Nash Country Kick-Off Party went down on June 5 at Nashville’s Cannery Ballroom to help CMA Fest (June 7–10) get the party started early.

Reigning ACM New Vocal Group of the Year Midland headlined the gig, with special guests Radio Romance, Abby Anderson and Brown & Gray.

Sponsored by Nash FM 103.3, all proceeds from the NASH Country Kick-Off Party will benefit Musicians on Call, an organization that brings live and recorded music to the bedsides of patients in healthcare facilities.

Midland treated the packed house to a number of songs, including their Grammy-nominated “Drinkin’ Problem” and “Make a Little,” as well as a cover of Bruce Springsteen’s “Tougher Than the Rest,” a tune that The Boss wrote and featured on his 1987 album, Tunnel of Love.

Watch Midland perform “Tougher Than the Rest” below.
