!! HAVE YOU SEEN THE TIN HORSE TOUR BUS ON THE ROAD !!
drop us a note and win a chance to win a copy of our upcoming EP


 

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!

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.
