About “Escape On A Horse”
Northern New Mexico is a place that inspires many tales. Tales of ramblers, ghosts, and outlaws. In its high mountains, hot deserts, and diverse towns, the Land of Enchantment is where musical tales are told, drawing out the legends of the past to mix with characters of the present. It is the place where “Escape On A Horse” calls home.
Drawing from the musical styles of Americana, rock and roll, country, and bluegrass, “Escape On A Horse” has established themselves as unique musical-storytellers in northern New Mexico. The band began in 2016 and got to work on self-producing and releasing their debut album in 2018. Their first album was nominated in 2019 for Best Country album by the New Mexico Music Awards. They have shared the stage with a variety of musicians including Grant Farm, Bonnie and Taylor Sims, Rapidgrass, The Magic Beans, Wood Belly, Liver Down the River, Foggy Memory Boys, The River Arkansas, Inaiah Lujan, and national country superstar James Carothers.
Their second album Homeland, released in 2021, was nominated for several New Mexico Music Award categories in 2022. “Escape On A Horse” won the 2022 New Mexico Music Award for Best Western song for “Jack The Joker”.
