The guys in A Thousand Horses have spent enough time on the road that they’ve come up with a list of essentials they take with them wherever they go, including coconut water, pedialyte (for rehydration the morning after several adult beverages), phone chargers, headphones, a football and a Frisbee. But bass player Zach Brown says there is one piece of clothing he never travels without, and that is a bathing suit. He says, “My number one rule for touring, always bring your bathing suit. You never know when you’re gonna get involved in a pool party… or a hot tub party,” and he says, “You don’t wanna be the guy that’s like, I can’t go ‘cause I don’t have a bathing suit. You never wanna have to say that.”
You can catch A Thousand Horses out on the road with summer, singing their top five hit, “Smoke,” and more music from their forthcoming album, on the Southern Style Tour with Darius Rucker.
