Short Bio
Wild Horse bends blues and rock into original songs that consist of thick guitar hooks and powerful, heavy grooves. The band was originally founded on traditional blues and psychedelic rock, but has evolved through time to include soul as well as funk influences. Through the years, the band has moved forward with a heavier rock sound, but does not forget their blues roots.
Wild Horse has played a variety of venues from dive bars to festivals, fundraiser concerts, blues clubs, and private bookings. The band continues to bring energy to even the smallest venue, and every show is played like it's their last. Fans of Led Zeppelin and Joe Bonamassa will find a home here.
Guitarist and Vocalist, Ryan Barclay, provides the vocals and thunderous guitar. Meanwhile the 1-2 punch of Chris "Hooey" Rourke on Bass, and Tage Novak on Drums lay a foundation that moves forward like a freight train.
"Great band, and a great delivery" - Steve Griffiths, Former Blue Oyster Cult Sound Engineer
