Emerging from the vibrant music scene of Boston in the spring of 2023, High Horse is a progressive-acoustic quartet that has quickly gained recognition for their unique and energetic sound. The band is comprised of four talented musicians: fiddler Carson McHaney, cellist Karl Henry, guitarist G Rockwell, and bassist Noah Harrington. Drawing from their diverse musical backgrounds and their education at the prestigious Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory, High Horse blends the traditions of Bluegrass, Old-time, and Celtic music with the spirited energy of alternative rock. They describe themselves as a "progressive-acoustic boy band featuring four friends, three bows, and one pick," delivering a "rollicking romp of great vibes, virtuosic chops, and tight vocals."
​
Their debut full-length album, released on December 6th, 2024, via Adhyâropa Records, was produced by the renowned mandolinist Jacob Jolliff (known for his work with Yonder Mountain String Band and the Jacob Jolliff Band) and engineered by the acclaimed Dave Sinko (celebrated for his work with Punch Brothers and Béla Fleck). The album showcases the band's innovative approach to acoustic music through original compositions, traditional tunes, covers, and exciting collaborations with guest artists, including Jacob Jolliff and vocalist Jacqui Armbruster.
​
While still a relatively new band, High Horse has already begun to garner attention and acclaim within the music community. Although specific major awards might still be on the horizon, their debut album has been praised for its musicianship and unique genre fusion. Their collaboration with established artists like Jacob Jolliff speaks to their rising stature and the respect they have earned from their peers. Keep an eye on this promising band for future accolades as their reach expands.
​
As a developing band, High Horse has been actively performing in various venues, particularly in the Northeast region where they are based. Some notable venues they have played include the Lizard Lounge (Cambridge, MA), and the Jalopy Theatre (Brooklyn, NY). The band is scheduled to appear in the Band Competition at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in June 2025, and will perform at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival in July 2025.
​
The band has had the opportunity to share the stage with notable musicians and bands, including the Jacob Jolliff Band, Kat Wallace, Jackson Taylor and the Sinners, and the Hilary Hawke Band. Bands that could be compared to High Horse's unique style include the Punch Brothers, Mr. Sun, The Infamous Stringdusters, and Crooked Still. High Horse's instrumental prowess, unique genre-bending approach, and engaging live performances position them as an exciting new voice in the progressive acoustic music scene.
