(AUDIO) A THOUSAND HORSES RELATE TO THE BLUE COLLAR DAYS THEY SING ABOUT IN ‘PREACHIN’ TO THE CHOIR

A Thousand Horses’ latest single, “Preachin’ to the Choir,” is about the workin’ man, and the 40-hour a week people who like to have a good time on the weekends, and they could all definitely relate to the sentiment of the song when they first heard it.  Lead guitarist Bill Satcher is reminded of his early days in Nashville.  He says, “Michael (Hobby) and I moved here together when we were both like 18 and I got a job waiting tables down on Broadway and was doing like 60 hours a week down there for several years and then working on music in the meantime.”

Besides his own blue collar days, Bill also thinks of his own family when he sings “Preachin’ to the Choir.”  He says, “ My dad was a textile worker and my mom’s a school teacher, so I kind of grew up around that environment.  And when I heard the song, what it means to me, it makes me think of myself and my experiences in life but also just the band and where we come from, you know.”

A Thousand Horses will be working hard this summer playing fairs and festivals all over the country.  You can check athousandhorses.com for all their tour dates.

Bill – “Michael and I moved here together when we were both like 18 and I got a job waiting tables down on Broadway and was doing like 60 hours a week down there for several years and then working on music in the meantime.  But also, you know, it reminded me of my family too.  My dad was a textile worker and my mom’s a school teacher, so I kind of grew up around that environment.  And when I heard the song, what it means to me, it makes me think of myself and my experiences in life but also just the band and where we come from, you know.”
