Artist Bio

Band of Horses are an American indie-rock band led by Ben Bridwell, known for expansive guitar arrangements, country-rock warmth and Bridwell’s high, plaintive voice. Everything All the Time and Cease to Begin produced enduring songs such as The Funeral and No One’s Gonna Love You. The band has appeared at Shaky twice, in 2013 and 2022. Current booking is handled by Independent Artist Group in North America and CAA in the UK and Europe, while a 20th-anniversary edition of the debut keeps the catalog active.

Why This Forecast Works

Evidence researched through 2026-09-22. Unknown fields are intentionally not guessed.

  • Historical appearances: 2013, 2022.
  • Research-only library record. It is intentionally excluded from scoring and the public Top 100 until current evidence is reviewed.
  • Evidence researched through 2026-09-22. Unknown fields are intentionally not guessed.
  • Batch 05 research cutoff: 2026-09-22.
  • Atlanta timing: NONE_FOUND
  • Current release/touring/festival research completed. Positive conditions are source-backed; absence statements mean no qualifying current/2027 evidence was verified in this pass.
  • Current-activity batch 01 research gaps now: Verify image credit/rights metadata; Verify management; Verify record label.
  • Research Batch 04 (PARTIAL): Management and label resolved. The anniversary/reissue activity is provenance only because no compatible new-release campaign enum exists; the unresolved image-credit gap remains open.
  • Research Batch 04 remaining fields: image_credit.
