Tara and the Gift Horses began as a casual meetup with vocalist Tara Norwood sitting in as guest singer on a few honky-tonk tunes with friends. That fateful, laidback jam in the heart of Fayetteville, Arkansas quickly evolved into a classic country outfit whose wheelhouse contains decades of country hits & B-sides, unexpected sources of the honky-tonk spirit, and thoughtfully-crafted original songs inspired by the golden age of country music.
While striving to tap into traditional country music’s uncanny ability to distill the human condition from the sour mash of achy vocals, twangy guitar, and clever lyrics, the band also tends to tailor its live show to the enduring beat of the country & western dance floor.
Whether you’re in the mood to two-step or cry, they’re your huckleberry.
