A Thousand Horses

In 2014, the band signed with Republic Nashville of Big Machine Label Group and released its first single "Smoke", which set a record for the highest debut by a new act when it opened at number 28 on the Country Aircheck radio chart.

[2] Michael Hobby and Bill Satcher grew up in Newberry, South Carolina, where they began writing songs at the age of 15.

Producing the new CD with Dann Huff and Corey Crowder, the band vowed to keep their unique sound intact.

[8] The album's second single, "(This Ain't No) Drunk Dial", was released to country radio on June 29, 2015.

"A high-energy hybrid of classic rock and bluesy country with enough soul flavor to resurrect the sound of American greats..." Their debut E.P., A Thousand Horses, was released on August 17, 2010, under Republic Nashville.

Their sound mimics Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, the Black Crowes, and the Rolling Stones in the context of modern country.
