This Summer, on their Horses
Gone Wild Tour, TIN HORSE has traveled in
their teal-colored tour bus through one
quarter of these United States (Illinois,
Iowa, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan,
Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky,
Mississippi, and Alabama). That includes
rest stops, truck stops, gas stations, dining
locations, and, of course, the cities, towns,
and fairgrounds that host the THB shows.
Whether
it has been in Biloxi at the Hard Rock,
or Nebraska at the Testical Festival, the
THB bus has gathered attention. From Northern
Michigan to Peoria, IL with Diamond Rio,
people notice this fan-described "vintage
chic" bus. The bus has a lot of history
and that is why we chose it. "Like
what?" you ask. Well that it was used
by some country greats including Willie
Nelson, among others.
We’ve
already received quite a few email from
THB Bus Spotters, whose names will be entered
into the upcoming raffle, the band wants
to tell you about:
“Look,
I just saw the tour bus stopped on the side
of the road in Elburn, [IL].
I personally saw the bus driver walk into
the mini-mart...”
– Suzanne, St. Charles, IL
|
“I
work at the Home Depot and saw you park your bus!
That’s so awesome!”
- Stevie, Chicago IL
“Saw
your bus yesterday. Going east on I 80 over by
Grinnell IA. Was going towards Des Moines.”
- DJ Dave, Grimes, IA
“Your
tour bus rocks! Me and my sister saw you guys
eating breakfast at the Waffle House!”
- Leanne, Mooresville, AL |
| If
you see, or have seen, the THB tour bus,
and you can’t miss it, here's how to enter:
1. First post a comment on the THB
myspace page indicating where and when
and what you were doing at the time (and
if you can take a pic too that would be
great).
2. We’ll enter your name into a raffle to
be held at the end of the summer and you
could win the cool stuff !
3. Deadline is September 30.
PS
- Even if you haven't seen our bus you can
still be part of the raffle by posting
a comment on our my space site with
where you saw us perform!
The
HORSES
GONE WILD tour is continuing throughout
the USA. And there are still plenty more
tour dates to see the band and/or their

I'M WITH THE BAND
monthly interviews with members
of THB and their posse
this month's feature: guitarist
Kevin James |
|
What
is your name?
Kevin Skomsvold – aka Kevin James
What
is your role with Tin Horse?
Guitarist, comedic relief, sometimes
intentional, mostly unintentional.
What
is your clean up duty on the bus?
That’s a good question. Toiliets.
I’ve been in the band the longest
and I do toilets. See anything wrong
with that picture?
Do
you like it? (Laugh) I put
my heart into it.
Ok…no
seriously…what is your favorite thing
about being “with the band”?
Comraderie – the family away from
family.
Best
outfit you’ve ever worn while with
the band: either on stage or off?
God. I don’t remember…um…you mean
the one I like best or the one…(laugh)…I
like the Reba McEntire shirt that
you guys made fun of. I really like
the way it looks. That black and white
country shirt that I had hanging back
there with my black hat. But I have
since gotten too fat to wear it (Laugh).
Do
you have a lucky charm, lucky pair
of socks, coffee cup, etc. that you
always bring with you? Nope.
Nope. I am not superstitious in any
way shape or form. But I do have to
have my Lucky Strikes.

WITH THE BAND" interview, check

website!
