Black Horse Run is a band with roots in Raleigh, NC and Nashville TN making a unique mix of classic and new southern rock, with just enough country to keep the girls dancing and the drinks pouring. They released their first studio EP, Headless Horse, in 2017 before a live album titled IMPURE GOLD in 2018. The band then took nearly four years working on their debut album, DONT TALK TO STRANGERS, which released on all streaming platforms on June 17, 2022. We chatted influences, their favorite project, and more in this interview.
