Dead Horses is vocalist/guitarist Sarah Vos and vocalist/bassist Daniel Wolff, sometimes augmented by other musicians as needed.

Raised on Bible hymns by her preacher father, she has a backstory that sounds more like that of an old bluesman from the Mississippi Delta than that of a young folk singer from Wisconsin. Despite their youth, Dead Horses have crafted a timeless sound, informed as much by modern Americana as it is by traditional roots music. They've worked with producer Ken Coomer (Wilco, Uncle Tupelo) who later invited the band to his studio to record the album, "Cartoon Moon." No Depression called their current album, "My Mother the Moon," one of the best of 2018 so far.

Their ability to pull the listener into their quietly energetic musical journey is a joy to behold." The Brother Brothers come to Michigan with their brand new debut album, "Some People I Know.
