Logan Mize Takes Fans on a Small-Town Trip with ‘Welcome To Prairieville’ - Out Today

Debuts Poignant Video for “I Need Mike”

Over the past few weeks, Logan Mize has been dropping breadcrumbs on the path into his fictional town of Prairieville - and today (10.1), he's finally opening the gates to reveal every intricate detail behind this imaginative place with the release of his brand-new album, 'Welcome to Prairieville' (via Big Yellow Dog Music).

Featuring 11 tracks, all but one co-written by Mize, every tune on the project is set in this middle-of-nowhere spot, a place that Mize and his longtime co-writer, Blake Chaffin, dreamt up as Nashville newcomers and have continued writing about for more than a decade. Inspired by his own small-town upbringing, different aspects of Prairieville are revealed through each track on the album, and by the end of the record, you truly know your way around the backroads of this imaginary place - from the best dive bar spots in town to the hot gossip about Prairieville locals and everything in between.

"This is the proudest I've ever been of a project," explains Mize. "It's been a long time in the making - the concept has been there, and it's morphed and changed throughout the years, but this was the first time I finished recording a project, and I felt like we did everything we wanted to do, so this is something I couldn't be more excited about."

In honor of the album’s release, Mize has also debuted the poignant and heartbreaking video for “I Need Mike” - a powerful "reminder that, even when life feels heavy and our troubles feel insurmountable, we've got someone there to help" (The Boot). Written solely by Chaffin, the tune tells the story of a young man who can’t seem to bounce back from the hardships in life - a tale that many know all-too-well. The clip ends with information for the Suicide Prevention Hotline, in the hopes that anyone who is struggling may see it and have a change of heart.
