History
Formation
Nice Horse started in Honolulu, Oahu, Hawaii in July 2015. What was initially a girls trip to hang out and write songs, evolved into the first self contained all female country band in Canada. They originally thought that the band would just be them playing music for their friends, but with the encouragement of their peers it evolved into something huge. In the summer of 2016 they opened for the The Kentucky Headhunters in Lloydminster and played Big Valley Jamboree. In the fall of 2016 they signed with Coalition Music Management. In early 2017, they toured with Tom Cochrane on the Mad Mad World 25th anniversary tour. The band provided opening support sets on various dates across western Canada and joined Tom’s band for 3 songs in Edmonton,Toronto, and Oshawa. The band then released their first EP entitled “A Little Unstable” produced by Jeff Dalziel and Bob Rock on February 24th, 2017. On September 8th, 2017, Nice Horse released their debut album entitled “There Goes the Neighbourhood” also produced by Jeff Dalziel and Bob Rock, which featured singles “Mansplainin’”, and “Pony Up”. They have shared the stage with Jess Moskaluke, Gord Bamford, Aaron Goodvin, & Washboard Union. They were nominated for 2 Alberta Country Music Awards in 2017 and named Best in Calgary as one of the top 3 musical acts. They have also played large festivals such as The Calgary Stampede, Boots & Hearts, Dauphin Countryfest, Big Valley Jamboree, Rockin River Fest, and the Red Truck Concert Series. They were nominated for a CCMA Award for Interactive Artist or Group of the Year in 2018.
