Brown Horse

Brown Horse make twangy and thoughtful indie rock, delicately arranged, but unafraid of building a yowling wall of guitars, accordion, banjo and pedal steel. Distorted, teary-eyed and country-tinged, this is music for long lonely drives and late, late nights in strange places.

After signing with legendary label Loose Music (The Felice Brothers, Hurray for the Riff Raff, Courtney Marie Andrews), their debut album, Reservoir, was released in January 2024 to wide critical acclaim. The band followed the release with a multi-month international tour and a packed festival season. Road-worn and with an open heart, Brown Horse are back playing select venues this Autumn.

With support from The Pegwells, formed in 2021 by Bianca Wilson (banjos) and Rebekah Bouche (guitar) as a space to protest the tokenism of existing as a marginalised gender in the traditional music scene, applying a queer lens to the sound and making room for themselves to play this music that they love. Now with the addition of Ray Aggs on fiddle, each player brings a unique musical background and identity, evolving and expanding the sonic tapestry of the group.
