All Horse Power: A Thousand Horses are CMA Fest veterans and doing full throttle the rest of the year

We are not sure how much horsepower 1,000 horses have, but A Thousand Horses is going full throttle, bringing the noise, and shows no signs of slowing down.

The band broke onto the scene in 2015 with their song “Smoke.” It made history because it was the first debut single for a group to reach #1 on the Country Airplay charts in the 2010s. They followed up that platinum hit with "(This Ain’t No) Drunk Dial, which also saw great success.

We were able to catch up with the guys to talk about what it means to perform at CMA Fest, how special the fan-focused event is, and their plans for the future.
