“Their unique combination of instruments “featuring cello as a utility infielder, at once filling in as the second “fiddle” role, then joining the rhythm section to add extra oomph,” gives them a very textured sound.” – AmericanaUK

High Horse is a progressive-acoustic boy band featuring four friends, three bows, and one pick. A mix of Bluegrass, Old-time, and Celtic music, it’s a band of brothers playing alternative rock on acoustic instruments. It’s a rollicking romp of great vibes, virtuosic chops, and tight vocals.

Comprised of fiddler Carson McHaney, cellist Karl Henry, guitarist G Rockwell, and bassist Noah Harrington; the band draws from their varied musical backgrounds to explore and perform original compositions and tunes from diverse folk traditions.

High Horse is based in Boston, collecting the skills and artistry learned from their education at the Berklee College of Music and New England Conservatory.
