The 4th of July is just around the corner, and the guys in A Thousand Horses have some fond memories of 4th of Julys when they were growing up. Lead singer Michael Hobby says, “I always loved 4th of July because I love goin’ to the lake and every summer my Dad’s best friend would have a big, they’d cook a big pig and have like a big thing. We’d always get to go the lake and ride wave runners and go knee-boarding and stuff like that. So, July 4th is the lake.”
Graham Deloach admits he was a bit more mischievous on the holiday. “I was more the fireworks pyro kid,” he says. “I’m from Savannah (Georgia) and fireworks are illegal in Georgia, but we’d just like go downtown, cross over the bridge and there’s like a million fireworks stores right there, and I would just go like spend like all my parents money.”
Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on how you look at it, A Thousand Horses will be working this 4th of July with a show in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Be sure to check out their brand new single, “(This Ain’t No) Drunk Dial,” off their new album, Southernality, which just came out earlier this month.
