Mingo Drive is a trio of lifelong friends who grew up around the world but came together on Mingo in Tulsa. Formerly Jasper Wilderness, they’ve earned 1M+ streams, released 17 songs, and played stages from small rooms to arenas. Now reborn as Mingo Drive, they craft a gritty, alt-rock sound inspired by Tulsa’s roots and modern influences, writing songs that explore regret, conflict, self-discovery, and hope. In their current catalog, Mingo Drive has songs that are both melancholy, uplifting, and heavy. They’ve always thought songs like “Breezy Perfect World” or “Color Blind Stories” would fit great in a young adult or coming of age film, whereas “Rhythm of the Day” could be epic in a video game or battle montage.
