Soulful country!" Nicholas Ballas, Owner/Partner, Cowgirl BBQ, Santa Fe “Half Broke Horses is the best band I’ve heard in Santa Fe in a long, long time. Real deal music played with heart and soul. Love ‘em.” William Gray "Wild, Wild Horses: Not that it’s, like, any big surprise to anyone who lives around here, but Cowgirl certainly has the market on all things Americana and country. And it’s in that tradition that everybody’s favorite place to get a frozen strawberry margarita (try it and thank us later) welcomes Half Broke Horses for an afternoon of acoustic-driven Americana and honky-tonk that will, in all likelihood, keep you dancing. HBH brings the energy to their set with songs that have a funny way of sticking with you – no small feat in a town where bands like this are a dime a dozen – and set themselves away from the pack by deftly merging the more fun aspects of these musical styles. There are only so many days left during which you’ll need a quality band like this to provide memories to keep you warm come winter." Alex De Vore, Santa Fe Reporter
