Drive across the rural South with the window down and the radio on. Hit scan and listen as muscular country, drawling rock, high gospel harmony, low-country blue and old school soul meld together into something special and distinct.

That's the sound of A Thousand Horses.

"Subconciously, our audience grew up listening to those albums that we all love too and the reaction so far has just been exciting," lead singer Michael Hobby said. "To me country music's always been cool. I grew up on it. There's a wider audience now. The lane seems to be a little bit wider for artists like Eric Church and Jason Aldean to push boundaries. People call it Southern rock or people call it country or people call it rock 'n' roll. To me it just feels like it's all just music now"

Joining Hobby as the creative core of A Thousand Horses are guitarists Bill Satcher and Zach Brown and bassist Graham DeLoach. Their friendship and similar interests have helped them create a distinct swamp boogie that fits right in with country music's current party sound.

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
