We are The Dirty Horse, blues band from London. We began our musical endeavours in February 2023, founding members Freddie and Matteo formed the band on a common love for all things Blues, Jazz and Country. When performing it allows us space to improvise and express ourselves musically, Our Debut EP ' Whistlejacket ' aims to capture this and has recently been released.

Their distinctive sound, combining raw energy with memorable melodies, plus performances at prominent venues across the UK, Switzerland and Brazil, has caught the attention of numerous music blogs and several radio stations including the BBC.

Stephen’s music is an amalgamation of genres drawing influence from the Rock n Roll attitude of his upbringing and his love for the art of Folk storytelling that he discovered while growing up in Ireland.

With a lyrical palette coloured by artists like Damien Rice, Kae Tempest and musical knowledge informed by Stevie Wonder & Sting. His music is thought provoking and deeply moving.

"His music is a powerful reflection of the human experience. His songs explore the depths of emotion, the complexities of relationships, and the universal longing for connection." - Broken8records
