BIO
Genre: Western Folk/Rock, Americana
Wild Horses brings their own rootsy Americana sound from their home in the woods of Minnesota, taking inspiration from the people and places found along the great American Highway.
Sharing the stage with the likes of Willie Nelson, Trampled by Turtles, Muscadine Bloodline, and Wilco, they’ve earned a loyal following that continues to grow with every show. They draw listeners in with captivating melodies, a hard hitting drive, and a palpable stage presence.
Featuring Jed LaPlant on vocals/guitar/kick drum, Ariana LaPlant on vocals/fiddle/keys, and Landon Pahl on vocals/bass, they have shaped a sound that incorporates heartbreaking vocals, standout harmonies, driving beats, and explosive dynamics.
Noteworthy:
Opening Support for Willie Nelson on three dates during May of 2024
Winners of Blue Ox Virtual Band Competition (2022)
Star Tribune (Mpls) review after the Blue Ox appearance:
“The Virtual Band Competition winner, this group featured Jed LaPlant’s deep gravelly vocals and urgent guitar paired with Ariana LaPlant’s intense and stirring harmonies and fiddle. This sextet delivered with verve and drive. A festival standout.”
