Hard-driving Nashville country-rockers A Thousand Horses are nothing if not resilient. Their 2024 album The Outside, their third, came after a particularly testing time that saw sweeping changes in the band’s personal lives and the departure of guitarist Zach Brown, while they also dealt with the knock-on effects of the pandemic.

A decade on from big-selling debut Southernality, the remaining members – frontman Michael Hobby, lead guitarist Bill Satcher and bassist Graham DeLoach – are gearing up for an exciting new chapter in their career.
