Short Bio
Wild Horse blends blues and rock into original songs that consist of thick guitar hooks and powerful, heavy grooves. The band specializes in mean ol' blues influences 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; dive bars, festivals, fundraisers, blues clubs, and private bookings. The band continues to bring energy to even the smallest venue, and every show is taken for all it's worth. Fans of Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Joe Bonamassa, and Black Sabbath will all find a welcoming 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.
