“Wammie” Award Winner for NEW ARTIST OF THE YEAR!!!AND…OHT’s Debut Release “Dawn Will Deliver” nominated for 2006
“Wammie” BEST COUNTRY ALBUM!!!
Co-singer/songwriters Janet Emma Garbe and Julia Kasdorf came together in May of 2000 to discover they had a knack for harmony singing and alternately penning and arranging songs together. Originally rounded out by stellar “high lonesome” pedal steel man Lynn Kasdorf, and later joined by the inimitable lead guitarist Stuart Martin, OHT is joined by DC's busiest bassist Rico Petrocelli, and talented and versatile drummer Danny Schwartz of Band House Gigs!
ONE HORSE TOWN performs in the VA/DC/MD region regularly, and begins touring nationally in 2007. OHT has been blessed to have shared the stage on several occasions with Nashville up and comers Last Train Home, DeadReckoner Kevin Welch, Rickie Simpkins, Orrin Starr, Jimmy Gaudreau, John Starling, Austin Cunningham, Marshall Tucker Band, and recently, the entire stellar DC music community for the Bob Dylan Tribute at the gorgeous Strathmore Music Hall!! Thanks to Ronnie Newmeyer and the folks at Band House Gigs for what was the most magical evening!
Venues such as the renowned Jammin’ Java, Iota Club and Café, Ashland Coffee and Tea, and the State Theatre have welcomed OHT for repeat performances. Popular international music magazine No Depression published a stellar review of OHT and the debut release in the Jan/Feb 2007 edition of Hot Wax submitted by DC area journalist/reviewer Buzz McLain.
Mike Joyce of the Washington Post gave an amazing review of OHT and the debut CD on Friday, June 29th, 2007. We were blown away. Thanks, Mike.
Three years in the making, OHT’s debut release Dawn Will Deliver reflects a deep love of music, especially roots, alt country and bluegrass, and a commitment to carrying the torch for the greats who came before like Buck, Emmy Lou, Johnny, Merle, the Louvins, and more recent heavies like Kevin Welch, Steve Earle, Kelly Willis, Patty Loveless, Patty Griffin, and Buddy and Julie Miller.
Jon Carroll of the Mary Chapin Carpenter Band and Starland Vocal Band skillfully produced the project. Jon’s profound instrumental and vocal contributions are accented by the artful mastering touch of Mr. Bill Wolf at his studios in Arlington, Virginia. Bill has worked with Tony Rice, Emmy Lou Harris, Willy Nelson, and pop music favorites Eddie From Ohio!! Rhythm monsters and OHT buddies Martin Lynds and Jim Carson Gray came aboard for the debut recording on loan from alt-country heroes Last Train Home. Cool cd jacket design by Stilson Greene, Leesburg, VA.
