Dead Horses To Play 2018 Americanafest

Fresh off the release of their acclaimed album 'My Mother the Moon,' Milwaukee duo Dead Horses have confirmed a slot at the 2018 AMERICANAFEST (September 11-16 in Nashville). The festival sees Dead Horses share a bill with Lee Ann Womack, Brandy Clark and more - with daily schedules to be announced soon. For more info visit: http://americanamusic.org/2018-lineup

After two years selling out shows in their local circuit, the band's new album 'My Mother the Moon' has elevated them to newfound national attention - they earned profiles everywhere from Billboard to Democracy Now!, were named an "Artist to Know" by Rolling Stone Country, an "Artist to Watch at SXSW" by NPR Music, and an "Artist Not to Miss at MerleFest" by NoDepression, toured with Rhiannon Giddens and Mandolin Orange, and landed on the cover of Spotify's "Fresh Folk" playlist the past two weeks in a row.

Dead Horses just kicked off their biggest headline tour yet with six sold out shows, and head to the West Coast next month to support Horse Feathers on their next leg - making a sold-out stop at Madison's Capitol Theater along the way. The band will also play the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre with Trampled By Turtles this July, and tour the west coast with HoneyHoney this summer, see full routing below.

More praise for ‘My Mother the Moon’:

“Evocative, empathetic storytelling” –NPR Music

“Smoky vocals, cinematic lyrics….a beautifully uncluttered collection of songs.” –Rolling Stone

“Stunning….left me on edge, wanting more” –The Current

“Aching, haunting vocals….a lovely album” –No Depression

“Vos is compared to many female vocalists, some rather obvious, but it seems that she has just enough darkness to put her somewhere between Neko Case and Caitlin Canty. It’s a beautiful instrument” –Glide Magazine

“Radiant….[a] sense of intimacy that makes [Sarah] Vos such a striking songwriter.” –Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
