A Thousand Horses Unveil Video For 'Southernality' + Announce UK Dates

A Thousand Horses have released the video for their latest single ‘Southernality’, the title track from their critically acclaimed debut album which was released last year through Big Machine Label Group.

With the clue in the name, ‘Southernality’ is a thumping groove laden party anthem. Directed by Shaun Silva (TackleBox Films), the video features scenes from A Thousand Horses’ high-energy performances throughout their recent stint opening for Jason Aldean on his We Were Here Tour. “This was a really fun shoot since we got to film most of it in a concert setting,” said frontman Michael Hobby. “Our fans relate to the message of this song and we love getting to show our Southern personalities when we perform.”

The band made their UK debut earlier this year with a performance at C2C, the UK’s biggest country music festival, at the O2 Arena alongside an intimate headline show at The Barfly in Camden, London and will be returning at the end of the year with the following dates:

- Wed 30th Nov – London, O2 Academy Islington

- Thurs 1st Dec – Manchester, Academy 3

Tickets go on sale on Friday (July 22nd).

ABOUT A THOUSAND HORSES

The band are quickly becoming a staple on UK radio. Their (UK) debut ‘Trailer Trashed’ sat proudly on the Planet Rock Radio B-list, followed by ‘First Time’ and then ‘Smoke’, both A-Listed at Planet Rock and C-Listed at BBC Radio 2. The band have also been nominated for ‘Best New Band’ at this year’s Classic Rock Awards.

Back in the US, the band have made an equally impressive impact with their first single ‘Smoke’ soaring to Number 1 on both the Mediabase and Billboard Country Airplay Charts, making Country Aircheck history as the highest debut for a new artist’s first single. They also became the first band (with at least three members) to send a debut single to Number 1 on Billboard Country Airplay Chart this decade.

The band were nominated for the Academy of Country Music Award for ‘New Vocal Duo or Group Of The Year’ and were hotly tipped by Rolling Stone Country and USA Today for ‘Smoke’, with its video – which now has over 14 million views – also receiving a nomination at the CMT Music Awards.

A Thousand Horses Announce Debut Visit to the UK at This Year's C2C Festival

A Thousand Horses have announced their debut visit to the UK with a performance at C2C, the UK’s biggest country music festival, at the O2 Arena alongside an intimate headline show at The Barfly in Camden, London.

The band recently revealed the video for their latest single ‘First Time’. C-Listed at Radio2, the track is an effortless union of southern rock with an anthemic soulful vibe throughout that mixes Black Crowes-style groove with undeniable swagger. The video features a montage of footage taken from their smash hit US tour when the band hit the road as a nine-piece complete with three backing singers, a fiddle and a keyboard player.

That very same nine-piece will be bringing their thundering sound to London where they will be performing at The Brooklyn Bowl in The O2 as part of the C2C festival alongside Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Dwight Yoakam, Little Big Town, Kacey Musgroves, Eric Church, Striking Matches and many more.

"Since we were kids we have dreamt of performing in the UK and to finally make it happen is a dream come true” says DeLoach. "The Beatles, Oasis and Led Zeppelin are some of our favorite bands. We are super stoked to come play in the UK” concludes Satcher.

Don’t miss A Thousand Horses when they gallop into town this March:
Sun 13th – C2C Festival, The O2 Arena
Tue 15th – The Barfly, London

A Thousand Horses released their critically-acclaimed debut album Southernality last year which features their Planet Rock Radio A-listed UK debut ‘Trailer Trashed’ – a ballsy, southern-rock party anthem with a slick groove, soulful backing vocals and big, big harmonies.

The band have been nominated for the Academy of Country Music Award for New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year and were hotly tipped by Rolling Stone Country and USA Today for their soaring ballad ‘Smoke’, which saw them become the first band to have a debut single reach #1 on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart this decade while its video received a nomination at the CMT Music Awards.

Taking the finest from their influences they have created a fresh fusion of classic sounds – a hybrid of Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, Black Crowes and Exile on Main Street-era Rolling Stones – wrapped up in a modern-country context.
