Artist description Horseshoe is pushing rock’s roots through the looking glass and into a wonderland of bright new images and themes. It’s the end of the millennium and rock music is all grown up now; labels and formats are the leftovers of rock’s adolescence. Horseshoe goes where the music goes and takes the songs wherever they lead -- genre labels be damned. Rock and Roll began as a synthesis of forms -- blues, country and gospel, and it evolves as more and more influences get thrown into the blender. The best bands, the bands that will lead the music into the next century, are cooking up new recipes from the old ingredients. The results are sometimes comfortable and familiar, sometimes jolting and exotic, but always interesting. Horseshoe challenges and confronts, but ultimately invites the listener to feast on this Primordial Soup of styles. Some bands follow the light; Some bands are the light. Horseshoe welcomes you to switch on and hear the difference yourself.

Press Reviews http://www.dcom.net/horse/stories.htm Lucky Horseshoe Are a praised CD and a slot at SXSW enough to make this band happy? Of course not. By Hobart Rowland Somebody up there likes me, so they provide me with little accidents of grace. --Horseshoe, 1996. That may be true in concept, but at the moment, Greg Wood, Horseshoe's burly lead singer, looks less like an accident of grace than a walking disaster. It's a Sunday morning, and Wood -- decked out in his favorite casual wear, a T-shirt and black gym shorts -- is a touch strung out. He's been awake all night, and airborne debris from last night's performance at the Blue Iguana (cigarette ashes, lint, whatnot) is still nesting in his mass of tangled, curly brown hair. The gig went well, Wood confides, though he's not sure if the club's management was happy with the turnout. Still, the band kept it together nicely, and when you consider that Horseshoe's live shows have a habit of sounding like rehearsals -- and its rehearsals like something found just this side of hell -- that's no small footnote. And neither, for that matter, is the band's first-ever showcase slot at Austin's South by Southwest Music Conference this week. In a year when the number of Houston acts invited to play the event is pitifully small, Horseshoe managed to be among the chosen. Still, flanked by Horseshoe drummer Eddie Hawkins and guitarist Scott Daniels at a local eatery, Wood is doing his best to make it appear like he couldn't care less.
