Logan Mize’s journey started in Kansas. His family has owned and operated a small grocery store for almost fifty years. Logan has been unloading trucks and lugging groceries since he was a child. He attended college for a while before deciding to do what all great country music singers want to do: abandon everything and relocate to Nashville. After a period of struggle in MusicCity, he obtained a deal with publisher Big Yellow Dog in 2009 and released his debut, self-titled album. He had major singles with “Ain’t Always Pretty” and “Better Off Gone,” which was rated Gold by the RIAA, throughout the next decade and three albums. He’s racked up over 350 million streams across many platforms and has toured extensively. Mize’s fifth album, “Welcome to Prairieville,” will be released in 2021 and is his most personal work to yet.

Mize was working as a Music Row staff songwriter ten years ago when he got homesick for Kansas and devised a way to get back there without leaving Nashville. He made up a fictitious town named Prairieville, which is the name of his latest album, with his buddy and fellow Kansan Blake Chaffin. They created roughly fifty songs about this town together over the years, modeling characters on individuals they’d grown up with and drawing on things they’d heard for their carefully observed depictions of heartland life. They made “Welcome to Prairieville” out of the best of those songs. For updates on album releases, music videos, and more, follow him on Instagram, where he has over 30 thousand followers.
