Shy One Horse

About Me

Shy One Horse is a rag-tag group of four musical mavericks who threw off the oppressive shackles of singer- songwriterdom to form a kind of "super group" if your definition of the word "super" is "wears nice hats".
The whole debacle started when Acoustic Showcase/Open Mic aficionados Wes Davis and Will Wallace decided to pool their musical efforts into an oppressive regime of folk/rock/ blues/country/alternative/other-genres-as-well/gypsy sound, while at the same time former Robotic Manipulations expert Chris Taylor suffered a horrible head injury which rendered him unable to perform any function but playing bass guitar, whereupon he joined the duo in lieu of much-needed hospital rest.
The three of them put together, combined with a little bit of old-fashioned voodoo majick, proved to be the only force capable of subjugating the klong-yaw-fu expertise of A.J. Seidner, so he too joined the group, though his day of insurrection is all-but inevitable.
The Four Shy-One-Horsemen of the Apocalypse (later shortened to Shy One Horse to diminish sacrilege) have been kicking faces and rocking sand since about March '08, and continue to seek out new life, and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has had lunch before.
For the dag-danged record, Shy One Horse now has a fifth member! Clayton Lillard has joined us to fill in the all-important position of Most Attractive Member! He also plays drums, and does a fine job of it, but we'll get some pictures of him up when we get a chance so you can see just how pretty the fella is.
