Brown Horse rides into Shoeshine Charley’s Big Top Lounge on Thursday, September 24!

Twangy, thoughtful, country-tinged indie rock built for long drives, late nights, and hearts that have seen some miles. With guitars, accordion, banjo, pedal steel, and beautifully ragged full-band energy, Brown Horse brings songs that feel both delicate and stormy.

Their acclaimed debut Reservoir put them on the map, and their 2025 follow-up All The Right Weaknesses proves this band is only getting sharper, louder, and more unforgettable.

Doors 8PM | Show 9PM
