A THOUSAND HORSES:
The high-powered new single from A Thousand Horses, “Highway Sound” marks the start of the most dynamic era yet in the Nashville-based band’s career. Produced by GRAMMY Award-winner Jon Randall, the wildly life-affirming anthem delves deeper into the freewheeling originality they’ve embraced since their Dave Cobb-produced debut SOUTHERNALITY—featuring the PLATINUM-certified smash “Smoke”—and artfully merges elements of Southern Rock, Classic Country, and hard-driving Americana. Along with adorning the track with plenty of ear-catching details (achieved in part through such left-of-center instrumentation as electric sitar and talkbox), A Thousand Horses fully capture what frontman Michael Hobby refers to as “the freedom of cutting ties with the negativity of the past, and putting your energy into celebrating a new beginning.”

Written after a period of intense change in their personal lives, “Highway Sound” first took shape over the course of a weekend trip to a Texas farmhouse in summer 2021, during which Hobby, guitarist Bill Satcher, bassist Graham DeLoach, and former guitarist Zach Brown came up with the song during an impromptu session on the porch. A major leap forward for A Thousand Horses, “Highway Sound” spotlights the powerful musicianship and soulful urgency first revealed on SOUTHERNALITY—a 2015 LP that reached #3 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, with “Smoke” earning recognition as the first debut single for a group to reach #1 on the Country Airplay charts that decade. Soon after launching their own label, Highway Sound Records, A Thousand Horses returned with their 2022 sophomore album BROKEN HEARTLAND, featuring standouts like “When I Hear Your Name,” “Another Mile,” and “Never Liked the Rain.” Known for their incendiary live show, A Thousand Horses have also toured the country with iconic acts like Lynyrd Skynyrd and more. In 2024, A Thousand Horses are embarking on their 16- show Spring headline tour and will continue to release new music with their full length album The Outside slated for later this year.

MARY KUTTER:

Born and raised in central Kentucky, singer/songwriter Mary Kutter has been writing music and singing as long as she can remember. Her gift of storytelling inspired her to host her own tv/radio show in Bardstown, KY connecting a community of creatives to further develop her craft. With an overwhelmingly positive response she knew relocating to Nashville was the next step for her to continue to follow her passion. There she began hosting various songwriter’s nights and immersing herself in the creative community. Through her compelling, heart-felt story telling, she's garnered a gold record and Billboard Top 20 hit as a writer on Nate Smith's song "Wreckage," as well as writer credit on Bailey Zimmerman's "Never Leave" which became a Sirius XM #1, Alexandra Kay's "That's What Love Is" which charted on iTunes at #1, Nate
Smith's "Sleeve" and Haven Madison's "How You Like Me Now." Her penmanship can also be found on “Move It,” a song that's been featured in various TV shows, movies, a USPS Campaign and on ESPN. In January due to the demand of her following on Tik Tok, she released the song "Devil's Money," a story based off of her great grandaddy who was a
bootlegger in Kentucky, that is currently at 1 million plus streams and counting. Kutter’s latest EP released on May 8th titled “Devil’s Money” was inspired by her love of storytelling. Each song is a unique story – some she heard when she was growing up, some she’s lived and some are her pure imagination.
