Nashville, Tenn. (June 2, 2017) – Rowdy country rockers A THOUSAND HORSES have today (6/2) released their second project on BMLG Records, the scorching, live-focused BRIDGES.
Making its exclusive streaming debut on Thursday (6/1),
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
praised the hot-and-heavy album for its “stadium-sized tracks,” “new,
refined sense of groove,” and “Southern-rock edge,” while lead singer
Michael Hobby hinted at where the road-tested band is headed next.
“It’s bridging the gap of what’s to come,” he said of the aptly-titled project.
Comprised of six swaggering new tracks and seven acoustic versions of
the band’s best-live jams – like their GOLD-certified breakout #1,
“Smoke” – the album was co-produced by the band themselves with studio
aces Corey Crowder and Dann Huff. Each of the acoustic tracks was
recorded live, with six taking shape in London’s famed Metropolis
Studios (recorded live-to-vinyl) and “Smoke” filling the air during a
raucous night in the Nashville tourist destination of Printer’s Alley.
BRIDGES is only available digitally, and it follows the TOP 5 success of the band’s debut album, SOUTHERNALITY.
Lead single “Preachin’ to the Choir” is already rising up the Country
Airplay charts, connecting with fans as a laid back, lighters-in-the-air
anthem about living life for good times and Saturday nights. The track
was co-written by Heather Morgan, Morgan Wallen, and the Warren
Brothers, and other hit makers involved in the album include Ross
Copperman, Ryan Hurd, The Cadillac Three’s Jaren Johnston and Josh
Osborne.
A Thousand Horses is made up of Michael Hobby (lead vocals), Bill
Satcher (lead guitar), Zach Brown (guitar), and Graham Deloach (bass).
They’ll be touring all summer with dates scheduled from California to
Connecticut and major festival appearances at the CMA Music Festival and
Country Stampede.

About A Thousand Horses:
Dubbed “Country’s coolest band” by
Rolling Stone Country,
A Thousand Horses delivers an authentic fusion of Southern rock and
contemporary Country mixed with rowdy jams. Their new 13-track project
BRIDGES is
available through digital retailers now and features their chart-rising
single “Preachin’ to the Choir” along with seven acoustic tracks, six
of which were recorded live in the U.K. at the famed Metropolis Studios.
“Preachin’ to the Choir” is quickly becoming the working-man’s anthem
and follows their successful debut single
“Smoke.”
The chart-topping track made Country Aircheck history as the highest
debut for a new artist and solidified the band (with at least three
members) as the first this decade to score a No. 1 with their first
single on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart. A Thousand Horses have
scored multiple award show nominations, most recently vying for the
title of
ACM
New Vocal Duo or Group at the 52nd Annual ACM Awards. The band’s first album on BMLG Records,
SOUTHERNALITY,
blends Southern Rock and influential sounds of The Black Crowes and
Rolling Stones’ Exile on Main Street era. The talented foursome soars
with Michael Hobby on lead vocals as Bill Satcher and Zach Brown on
guitar and Graham Deloach on bass round out their unique grooves. A
Thousand Horses headlined a string of shows in the U.K. last fall and
have previously toured with Jason Aldean on his wildly successful SIX
STRING CIRCUS TOUR.
