A Thousand Horses
Monday, June 8, 2016: 4 p.m.
Band Members: Michael Hobby - Vocals, Harmonica; Bill Satcher - Lead Guitar; Graham Deloach - Bass; Zach Brown - Guitar, Backing Vocal
Record Label: Big Machine/Republic Nashville
Bill Satcher and Michael Hobby went to high school together in Newberry, South Carolina, and Satcher’s cousin, Graham Deloach, dropped in from Savannah, Georgia, every summer. All three musicians bonded, and they began playing random dates. A friend eventually introduced them to Zach Brown – who hails from Lawrenceville, Georgia – and A Thousand Horses became a full-fledged band.

The Cadillac Three
Band Members: Jaren Johnston: Guitar & Lead Vocals Kelby Ray: Dobro, Acoustic, Lap Steel & Vocals Neil Mason: Drums, Percussion & Vocals
Record Label: Big Machine Records
From their web-site:
"While The Cadillac Three, formally The Cadillac Black, whose members include native Nashvillians Jaren Johnston, Neil Mason and Kelby Ray have been friends and musical co-conspirators since they were kids. They’ve weathered their wild teenage years and even wilder tours, weathered major label letdowns, major league triumphs and a major name change, conquered Music Row – Johnston co-wrote Keith Urban’s #1 single “You Gonna Fly” – and crashed on the couches of strangers in far flung cities. These boys have seen more ups and downs than a Smoky Mountain tour guide.
But in spite of all the trials and tribulations – or perhaps because of them – The Cadillac Three have emerged with a sound all of their own, a sound that hovers between radio-ready country anthems, hard-and-heavy rock and traditional Southern folk. You could call it country fuzz, you could call it hipster-billy, you could call it any number of over-hyphenated, adjective-strewn things but when you boil it all down there’s only one way to describe it: damn good music, as pure and refreshing as a country creek."
