When their original debut album Record Of The Year was officially released back in 2006, Richmond, VA’s own Americana/Rock band HORSEHEAD wouldn’t have possibly guessed they’d still be standing twenty years later, stronger than ever. With seven full albums proudly in their catalog to-date & an eighth coming on the way, a ton of incredible memories gathered from throughout their years, and a remarkably dedicated fanbase unlike any other, HORSEHEAD continues to thrive with exciting new tunes.
From the sincere heart in their irresistible hooks & melodies, to their stunningly crafted instrumentation & inherent charm, to the cleverness of their lyricism & genuinely relatable vibes, the consistency within the songwriting of their wildly versatile music has remained constant over the course of their career. All in the pursuit of entertaining the masses with gripping material designed to move the mind, body & soul, HORSEHEAD prides itself on making music that truly connects to everyone who takes the time to listen.
Over the past two years, the four-piece band recorded more than twenty songs that revealed how far they’ve come since their earliest days, and proved their best music still comes out of them with every new release. As they’ve honed the lineup down to eleven of their finest tracks ever, HORSEHEAD has a record that represents the band’s past and present as one and a set list that’s second to none. Beyond ecstatic to launch their eighth full-length record, Transcendental Hesitation, into the world on December 11th, HORSEHEAD is sounding better than they ever have before throughout a lineup of songs that speaks volumes on behalf of their ability to entertain people on every possible level.
Transcendental Hesitation features the charismatic and eclectic sound of HORSEHEAD at their undeniable best; it’s the record they’ve always known they’ve had within them and wanted to make. Featuring a talented lineup of players that includes Jon Brown (Vocals/Rhythm Guitar), Kevin Wade Inge (Lead Guitar/Backing Vocals), Steve Chiles (Bass), and Ricky Tubb (Drums/Percussion/Backing Vocals), and special guests Daniel Clarke (K.D. Lang / Butch Walker / 49 Winchester), Ross Wright (The Wayward Leaves), Erin Hurley-Brown, & Sunny Brown, together they’ve committed to creating an album filled with addictive songs that would serve as a landmark highlight in their growing catalog, and an achievement that permanently establishes their legacy in music’s history.
Join HORSEHEAD in 2026 and beyond as they celebrate the release of Transcendental Hesitation, revealing a lineup of songs that no playlist, party mix or record collection could possibly be considered to be complete without.
